Aerial Silks vs. Aerial Yoga: What’s the Difference?
While they might look similar, aerial silks and aerial yoga are distinct disciplines that require different equipment.
Aerial silks are long, flowing fabrics used for wraps, drops, and dynamic movements. Check out our selection of aerial silks here: https://www.aerialsusa.com/aerial-category/aerial-silks-for-sale/
They are generally not recommended for aerial yoga because they don’t offer the stability and support needed for many yoga poses.
Aerial yoga, on the other hand, utilizes a specialized hammock or sling that provides a wider, more supportive base. This allows for comfortable inversions, stretches, and a greater range of traditional yoga poses with a unique aerial twist.
At Aerials USA, we offer a variety of aerial hammocks perfect for yoga enthusiasts:

Important Note: While traditional spread hammocks are most commonly used for aerial yoga, single-point hammocks (also known as Aerial Slings) can be used for certain poses and flows. These offer a more dynamic experience with increased opportunity for spins. If you’re interested in this option, consult with a qualified aerial yoga instructor for guidance.
