The basics

What is aerial sling?

Aerial sling (also called an aerial hammock or loop) is a single length of fabric tied into a loop and hung from one point. It’s one of the most beginner-friendly apparatus in the air: the loop gives you somewhere to sit, hang and find your bearings from your very first class. As your skills grow, sling opens up incredible theory exploration and dynamics, so there’s always something new to chase.

One thing it’s not: aerial yoga. Same family, very different vibe.

Aerial yoga uses the fabric to support yoga postures. It’s slow, controlled and breath-led, and it stays low to the ground.
Aerial sling is circus. It’s built for strength, acrobatics and performance artistry, and there are crash mats underneath for a reason.

You’ll leave sweaty, not zen. There is no savasana here.

Before your first class

What to wear to sling

No circus wardrobe required. Sling is fabric, so dress the same way you would for silks: cover the skin the fabric rubs against, and leave anything that snags at home.
