[@aerialpractice]

Which discipline are you planning to follow? Aerial sling?

[@desertflower4627]

@@aerialpractice how many different disciplines are there? Aerial yoga hammock and aerial dance silks? Those are the two I know so far, if I’m even calling them try the correct name!

[@aerialpractice]

@@desertflower4627 Aerial yoga and aerial dance are 2 different disciplines. Within aerial dance, i mainly focus on aerial hoop and aerial sling (with spinning), but I also take lessons for aerial rope, aerial silks, aerial strap, etc... I also have an aerial moon.

[@desertflower4627]

Hello Eunice!! I think it’s safe to say I’ve been a fan of you throughout my entire aerial journey, and you’ve been an inspiration in helping me so much with my low ceiling. Recently, however I haven’t been able to practice due to something AMAZING!! I got a 13ft outdoor rig, which gives me so much space, along with aerial silks! This is unbelievably exciting, and I think I owe all my progress to you! Thank you Eunice! I love ya!

[@aerialpractice]

You definitely are! I think you are probably one of the first ones who started leaving me comments. Really appreciate that you have supported me since the beginning. O.M.G. I just saw this 13ft outdoor rig. My dream hahahahah! would love to see you dancing on it

[@meganheggen836]

Hi Eunice! Your video's are amazing, they are so down-to-earth and love your no-nonsens style! It inspires me to start training at home. Unfortunatly it is hard to find a place where I am allowed to put holes in the ceiling! In the mean time I will just start classes nearby!

[@aerialpractice]

I FEEL you so much. I got lucky when I found my apartment it has 20-30 holes everywhere. I offered my landlord to fix it up and paint everything so it looks new and they of course didnt mind me putting it more holes. I am so glad you enjoy my videos. I just want to focus on sharing what I eventually learned in aerial dance and hope to help others to find their ways too!

[@Susiii_01]

I love your Videos 😘😘

Mia Schmid awh you have made my days! It takes a lot of heart and soul to put each of them together but I am happy to share :)

[@mimilivsey5779]

Good idea with the different hammocks lined up ! I too need more practice on my own time. We are lucky enough to be building our home and I'll be able to have the contractor put in support during the process :) I can't wait to have a home set up

Thank you for your tutorial. Can you possibly share the size/diameter of your hoop ?

[@aerialpractice]

if i remember correctly its 95cm. I share more about my hoop here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6Kvaaumd9uBla8

[@harrieellen1731]

Thank you for the video! I think my main concern is my ceiling not being sturdy enough to have my hoop attached and to hold my weight, did you have to do any reinforcing of your ceiling? I'm only 110lbs but I'd hate for my ceiling to be under stress and start cracking 🙃

[@aerialpractice]

[@adelinastefan861]

Hi, thank you so much for your share. I'm a beginner and looking to set an installation at home, yet I live in a very old building and I'm wondering if the ceiling would hold up. Is there anything I need to know/calculate before to ensure safety of not falling off? Thanks!

[@aerialpractice]

You will need a structural engineer to help you on this. Safety first!

[@amberfrazier575]

Look for a top floor apartment in a 3 plus floor building I had 25-30 ft ceilings on the highest side and 10 ft on the lowest. luxury or high end Appartments with amenities like a gym and rec room are going to be your best bet. Believe it or not I paid $40 less a month because there was an outside entrance with no elevator and they counted it as an inconvenience to have to walk up and down the stairs.

[@aerialpractice]

Great tips Amber. We looked hard in both Hong Kong and Amsterdam. One day we will find the perfect aerial home !

[@amberfrazier575]

@@aerialpractice I’m sorry! I live in the Pacific Northwest so we have a lot more room for2 and 3 floor buildings. In the high rises the top floor is usually considered nicer with a city view and bigger floor plans. So the rent can go from in budget 3rd floor to out of budget 12th floor.

[@martinatuskova7424]

Hello, Can I kindly ask how have u made sure u can screw driver into a sealing safely? :D Should I pay a person to do it or just friend with stud / timber finder could be enough? I wish to make a sure my above neighbour won't end up im my livingroom :D ALSO I have seen you with beautifull huge trousers- they made nice effect while doing poses on your hammock ...any chance to send me link where u bought them of the video ? (cn't find the video anymore THANK YOU

[@aerialpractice]

Hello Martina! I got that from Uniqlo (a few seasons ago), not sure if they will have them but you can always check online and offline. To make sure I install it safely, i never try or will want to do it myself! Definitely hire someone who knows exactly how to rig to do it for you! Super important!

[@annon7179]

can these fall off the ceiling easily?

[@aerialpractice]

Not at all. That's why it's important to get it properly inspected and installed, with the right equipment.

[@desertflower4627]

Have you heard of vevor or prior fitness? I’m looking for a budget starter set

[@desertflower4627]

Also my ceiling is very low at 2.36m will it still be possible for me?

[@desertflower4627]

I’m looking at approx 9yard silks as live near the forest and want it to be portable for outside practise. I’m hoping to teach myself at home

[@desertflower4627]

Apologies for so many questions!

[@desertflower4627]

I’m thinking to get a 9-12 metre set then I can maybe also use them outside if I can find a friendly and supportive tree I’m allowed to use!?

[@desertflower4627]

Would this also be able to be used for yoga hammock? I’d like to try both.

[@reannemccormick9616]

Do you have to make sure there's a stud in the ceiling where you put it? How does it not break the ceiling? I am renting and I don't want to cause damage

[@aerialpractice]

It depends on which type of ceiling you have. When i moved out of my rental it was possible to take my expansion bolts out. We cut off the heads and sealed it with white filler. There is some info about rigging options on this page,, hope it helps you out. aerialpractice.com/articles/aerial-products/rigaerialindoor/

[@Ratblister]

Is it safe to hang your Ariel hammock/ring from the wall? Cuz I would rather do that than spend $1,000 on a frame. Which do u recommend?

[@aerialpractice]

I am not a big fan of A frame too, thats why i spent more effort looking into installations. How safe it is is not where you put them, but more how you install it and how you use it after. I wouldn't hang it from the wall because I want to spin, but maybe in your case it works for you? Hope this helps!

[@libbly]

Do you need to have a strap? Is it ok to hang a hoop directly from the mount with a carabiner?

[@aerialpractice]

Yes i do that too, when I want more space under the hoop.

[@libbly]

@@aerialpractice thank you!

[@desertflower4627]

What do you think about the prusik hitch for adjusting length of hammock? Is there a reason you don’t use it?

[@aerialpractice]

Yes. It's because of the space limitation. I did start using knocks to shorten the long fabric but then the knocks are big and in the way.

[@desertflower4627]

Thanks for your reply. Aha, ok. Knocks? That's not a term I've come across? Do you mean the loops from the prusik hitches?

[@taracarroll3076]

What’s kind of professional did you hire to look at your rigging

[@aerialpractice]

You can look into riggers or structural engineers. My place is built with solid concrete so it was simpler to install

[@amberrose...2383]

How much did it cost?

[@kenrei7978]

Hello, my wife is also doing aerial and asks me to install the anchor bolt at home😅 is this your own house or rental house? i am afraid the owner doesn't like a hole on the ceiling..... or you have any solution to remove it?

[@aerialpractice]

My current home is my house but my previous one is a rental (with the same installations). As an owner now of course 99% of owners would not want you to mess up their ceilings (depends how nice it is) But it was my first requirement when it comes to rental so I purposely searched for rental that needs work. Offered my time and money to renovate the place for my aerial need + a reduced rental fee. You should definitely check with your landlord first

[@aerialpractice]

When i left my rental, we saw off the head of bolt and fill it with white fillings. My landlord was satisfied with this solution. But all of these is dangerous and really depends on the case whether this method works for your and your landlord needs. If you are unsure how it works, best to connect professionals for advices or invest in a portal rig to save you the headache. Places that I wasn’t sure if I could do it safely I just didn’t buy/rent.
