YES! Aerial yoga can actually be easier than regular yoga, since the fabric acts as a support in many postures. The yoga hammock will help increase your flexibility and can help ease into yoga poses that would be difficult on the ground. If you're practicing at home, try to slowly work your way up to more difficult moves, and you will likely see great progress in flexibility and potential alleviation of back pain.
Most people are also amazed at how easy inversions are to get into and out of. There's nothing like it!
The most critical safety factors when rigging:
1. Make sure that your rigging points (so, whatever you're attaching your hammock to) are able to support a dynamic load (your swinging weight, which can be several times your static weight.) We LOVE inversions at Flight Room and we want you safe when we're upside down!
2. Any installation into your ceiling should be completed by a professional to ensure safety.

Where should I NOT hang my new hammock?
While we LOVE practicing outside, we don't recommend rigging from a tree. It's hard to determine how much weight a branch can hold, even if it looks super sturdy.
