Hi

[@sarahnicoleramirez1871]

Your videos are easy to follow for a beginner like myself, I'm glad you will be uploading more frequently.

[@aerialpractice]

Wonderful to hear Sarah! Our mission is to show that it is possible for any level can practice aerial, no matter how challenging it might seem! I love focusing on doing the basics really well,stay fit from practicing, and sharing to you!

[@truecolors2604]

Thank you for giving us a slow and steady approach. That’s a sign of a great teacher

[@aerialpractice]

Thank you too!

[@amymiltonberger1607]

I love that this is advertised as beginner and ACTUALLY is. So many I see seem to be beginner compared to pro level but are still too advanced for hobby aerialists. THANKS ❤️

[@aerialpractice]

Right? I feel the same! Aerial dance can be fun without doing crazy drops or tricks too!

[@lisalum2934]

I love how you move slowly and I can see all angles of the pose, thank you so much! :)

[@aerialpractice]

You are welcome! I find it always really hard to see what happens and get lost. So i started making videos this way. Then I find that doing it really slow and control help me to improve super fast!

Never too late! The two seperated ends are aerial silks, which might be more popular in some area. My favorite is hammock and sling, so this channel exists for those who are also a fan!

[@Jonte.Danyjah]

KEEP GOING!: I practiced on my new hammock for the first time yesterday. Naturally I did majority of these moves and I was shocked. I have no prior experience just minimal pole training. You definitely utilize all of your muscle groups and it makes you more aware of your body placement. If you aren’t already practicing yoga, workouts, or any sort of conditioning START NOW. It’s not for the weak and you will be uncomfortable I’m telling you. I almost cut off circulation to my legs while attempting a drop because I underestimated how much upper body and core strength was required. 😂😂😂 Have fun, be careful

Absolutely. I like to think of hammock tricks as the basic of slings. Once I get a hang of a trick, I will always try it with spinning. The only problem is I practice in a low ceiling environment so i have to adjust to the limitation.

Thank you Andrea! Maybe easier to check out the first time video first? It took me a long time to understand this but the pain is a signal of weakness. You will get used to it because you will get stronger!

Not the same. Dance is dance, yoga is yoga. They both have their pros and cons. Dance is more about expressing yourself, with aerial dance it may require more power than other forms of dances.

Every time I try to do the first sitting position it pinches the inside of my knees really bad and I have bruises now. Just something to get used to or am I doing something wrong?

[@aerialpractice]

It is hard for me to tell this way. Personally I don't have knee pain from the first sitting position. I got bruises from wrapping around the thighs at the beginning, which I got used to after a few lessons. The problem is once I got to use wrapping with one leg, I was avoiding to practice the other leg. Now with my song routine I am really pushing for both sides practice so I am seeing more bruises on my left (weaker) leg, while no pain or bruise on my stronger leg. If your issue persists, I would recommend to stop practicing and seek professional medicine advice. It's better be safe! Hope this helps!

Jenny I was exactly the same. Not as light as you are but I am skinny, to this day i still feel a bit too skinny to grow my physique for aerial. It is a struggle to eat more and better but I got started with aerial. Then my health started to improve. If i was fit already i probably wouldnt have done it or continued doing it.

I have 4 friends under the age of 10 and they all use them and they just use the brand “f.life” from amazon

[@indigosky1002]

The 6 year olds I babysit for use my aerial hammock just fine, just gotta make sure the hammock is folded in in a way that's comfortable for them. The main kid I babysit for uses it folded wider than I do because it feels more secure. I wouldn't be worried about the size, apart from making sure it's not too long to use in your practice area. My current practice one is short enough to attach it to a swing set, but therefore too short to climb very far up it. I hope to get a longer one soon, but that's been nice for working with kids on it. The one I got also comes with handle straps you can clip on or take off, and those handles were really helpful for the kids when they were starting out and building their strength and confidence. It gave them something secure to hold onto and pull themselves up by when they were first learning to trust the sling and themselves, and once they were confident they ditched them - just like training wheels on a bike. This is the sling I currently use, and I've had kids and adults 6+ of all sizes use it with no problems, again you just have to find what's comfortable as far as how it's folded over. www.amazon.com/EverKing-Aerial-Yoga-Swing-Antigravity/dp/B077TJHJXS In case this might be useful to anyone else, I tell the kids that there are a few rules to being allowed to use the aerial sling: 1. Stretch first 2. No shoes 3. Learn to use it properly - learn and use proper forms and be aware of what you're doing while you're on it Aerial yoga and dance can be so much fun, but if you don't follow those three rules, no matter what age you are, you can hurt yourself. And every time a child has told me that not following one of those rules wouldn't mean they would hurt themself - guess what? They hurt themself. And learned that I have those 3 rules for a reason.

What if I'm not flexible and don't know how to do the splits

[@aerialpractice]

It is definitely an advantage to be flexible but it is not a requirement to practice aerial hammock. I also couldn't do splits when I started 2 years ago. I got really serious and wanted to advance, so I started training my flexibility. If they are not your goals, you can simply do what you can, or skip those moves. If they are, check out Top10STRETCH, a couple of videos there can help you to advance =)!

[@ximenalara8600]

@@aerialpractice thank you very much I'll definitely check out the streches

[@teresekaye2621]

I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm an older beginner that just joined a local class. I'm adding lots of stuff from you and enjoy your tips. My question: can you show silk hammock poses that can be done on a doorway? I'm so sad that I don't have high ceilings. My teacher advises not to attempt rigging except for door frame. I have a silk hammock and also Yoga Body sling

[@aerialpractice]

YES! I would also not attempt to rig from door because it's just not strong enough! If i see some poses I will share in my insta so maybe you can see it

[@avamccarthy8023]

can you do a video or explain to me how to set up aerial silks on an outside rig i can’t find any tutorials so i can’t start practicing yet :( x

[@aerialpractice]

Hello Ava! I would love to but I dont have an outside rig at the moment. Do you already have one?

[@avamccarthy8023]

aerialpractice not yet but i’m getting one soon i’m trying to learn how to put one up but there’s no videos anywhere 🙈

[@aerialpractice]

@@avamccarthy8023 Perhaps it depends on the rig itself. I have seen couple different type of outdoor rigs. The rig should have some guide for you how to use safely. Sorry I don't have more info for you. Hope this helps! Would love to see it tho once you get it =)!

[@avamccarthy8023]

aerialpractice it’s ok thank you anyway! I’m teaching myself with books etc because nobody near me does it! I’m super excited to get it (i’m 13) :)

[@aerialpractice]

@@avamccarthy8023 OH my thats so young! Hope you can create a safe setup - very important! Have you got mats? What books are you using? I also love learning from books.

[@Crab.with.abs.]

I get motion sickness do u have any recommendations for that

[@aerialpractice]

I got that a lot too! But it gets better over time. I also shared some practical tips here: aerialpractice.com/spinning10tips/ Hope it helps!

[@Mariposa0007]

Do you have a video showing how to fix the hamouk to twirl

[@aerialpractice]

to twirl? can you share with me more what you mean? like how to tie it up?

[@Mariposa0007]

No I meant how to fix it in a way that enables me to spin around in circular motion I bought the hardware for it but not sure how to use it

[@massages_for_world_peace8909]

aerialpractice ooo i am also curious how yours spins (the end of this video). I didn’t know this was an option; It is so beautiful. Would you mind sharing what extra equipment you bought (i have all the normal yoga hammock hooks/equipment in the ceiling already) or any helpful tips you learned about how to set that up?

[@Mariposa0007]

Krissy Zarlengo I finally came with the solution you have to purchase a different type of hardware that’s made especially for that.
