DOS AND DONT’S
DO warm-up first
It’s very important for all forms of aerial exercise to warm up properly before beginning your aerial workout to reduce the
chance of injury.
You may be able to incorporate your aerial equipment into your warm-up.
DON’T wear lotions or moisturisers
Your silks and yoga swing will absorb lotions and moisturisers from your skin and quickly become dirty and potentially
slippery.
DON’T leave your silks or yoga swing hanging permanently outside
The material used to create an aerial silk and yoga swing is delicate, so please do not leave hanging outdoors when not
in use for the increased longevity of your product.
DO use a spotter
If you’re attempting new tricks or trying to advance your skill level, have a spotter with you.
Ideally, you’ll want a spotter who understands aerial tricks and can give you advice and guidance. Explain the steps
you’re going to take and when you might need their help so they can be prepared.
DON’T attempt too much too soon
You need to work through your progress on aerial equipment in stages, do not be tempted to rush ahead to the more
advanced moves immediately.
If you try too much too soon, you risk injuring yourself.
Be patient and remember that it’s better to perform a basic trick perfectly than a wobbly advanced trick!
DO use as intended
Your aerial equipment must only be used as intended ie. do not spin yourself into a cocoon on the aerial silks or aerial
yoga swing as it can result in serious injury.
Use the handles on the Yoga swing to safely pull yourself up and out of a position.
DON’T wear loose clothing
Don’t wear loose clothing or clothing with hoods and cords as they can be a strangulation risk.
DO install everything correctly
Please follow the assembly instructions for your frame and your aerial equipment carefully and ensure frequent
maintenance checks and tightening of your frame as per the instructions.
DON’T take unnecessary risks
When it comes to any aerial sport, taking risks can be dangerous. Please use aerial equipment carefully, take progressive
steps and follow our Dos and Don’ts to play and train safely.
