Welcome to my hammock tutorials. This video will provide helpful tips and information on using these. I will be using a double point hammock for most videos, but you could use single point. I highly suggest double point as it's the most stable option.
Here is some more helpful information! You don't need to purchase a fly gym or fancy yoga swing to use my tutorials, just a simple hammock is perfect, no handles or extras needed. However, if you have a yoga swing or fly gym you can totally use those.

i have a yoga swing so once i get the screws in the mail im going to hang it up and give it a try, hopefully in a few days...
It will depend on your ceilings, you can always tie it shorter, so in my opinion longer is better. I have you determine height by waist, hip, shin, things like that. You don't need an exact length. :)
How many long is your hammock Veena? And What is your size preference advise?
It depends on if you want to "fly" if you stay in one place (which is optional in almost every lesson) then you don't need much space. Just enough to stretch out your arms and legs. In the pasted I've had mine hung right by the pole and then use the pole as a ladder to hang the hammock. lol
Approximately how much space do you need? I really want a hammock, but am limited in places to put it. Debating trying to fit one between the wall and my pole...
Thank you Veena
You can use a single as well, you'll just have to work harder for some of the grounded balance work. Keep in mind it's not hard to make it a double point.
Hi Veena, If I get the one point Hammock can I use these lessons or lessons are different with 2 hanging points. I'd like my hammock to spin, ha!
That's great! I hope you might find these helpful for teaching too!
I literally just got certified to teach this, this past weekend! I couldn't believe my eyes when I logged in! I'm very excited about all the extra tips!:D Congrats on your expansion!!
Yes, you can hang a hammock from any where that is sturdy and has no evidence of rot. Yes, you should still be able to use many lessons even if you tie a knot in your silk rig.
Thanks Veena! I have one fabric but the hardware I have says I can hang it both ways as two pieces of fabric or a hammock. I just like to use if for double foot lock work and it would be a pain to have to take it down all the time one day maybe I can afford two rigs.
I've never actually tried hammock but since you've got lessons up, I'm interested!! But I'm also curious to know if it is possible to hang the hammock from a steel swing set frame? As I know the rigging can be expensive and I don't really have room indoors to hang it from the ceiling. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated :)
Oh Wow Wow Wow! Happy Days! I've waited in the hope of hammock lessons for so long! Thank you ❤️
A hammock is one silk. If you have silks as in 2 pieces of fabric hung you can tie a knot and do some of the work I'll show. You could just use one of them to create a hammock/sling tho! 😊
I have a silk do I need to re hang it as a hammock or can I use a knot I'm interested in the stretchy yoga type stuff if that matters
Yes Veena so excited !!
Eeee I wish I still had space for my hammock! Glad you're putting up lessons!
Yes yes yes! I'm ready! Give us more 😆
Awesome!
