Setting Up & Breaking Down My Aerial Rig || By Myself

- Hi everyone!
There aren't many resources out there how to set up your aerial rig by yourself so here is my way to set it up and break it down!
I hope that this video gives you the confidence to either buy a rig or know that you can absolutely break it down and put it back up by yourself. (This is based off of a 10 foot rig, I don't have any experience with 20 foot rigs, which I would say you definitely need more than one person to set up.)

I just got my YogaBody ariel rig today. I look forward to trying it out in the morning. Thank you for a great video!
This was such a great help!! I got mine yesterday, I need to build it up on my own too and I felt a little overwhelmed!
But your video relaxed me and inspired me xxx thank you
This was so helpful - thank you. You have given me the courage to get mine out of the box !
Yes do it!! Get outside while the weather is nice and take some fun pictures! I need to follow my own advice, putting outdoor aerial on my priorities list.
thank you so much girlie! you're the best 😩🙌🏻❤️❤️
Thank you for this! Just getting into aerial and your video is so helpful
I'm happy it helps!!
This is what I was looking for, thank youuuu!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this. It made my first setup super easy.
yay! I'm happy to hear that!
I receive mines today n u made it so easy to set up thanks Kiara
yay!! Amazing!!
I have this same one I need to make adjustments to the way I hang up my hammock because mine swings uncontrollably every time I’m in . I see yours is different from mine and we have the same ones so I’m gonna see if you have a video on how you hooked them if not I’ll try to use this and figure it out. Thank you!
I literally just got this rig from Yoga Body and I didn’t realize how big it was!! I’m going to set it up outside and put a canopy over it to protect it from the sun and rain. In the winter I will dismantle it. The owner of Yoga Body commented on my comment to take out the middle rods if it’s too big.
I got ceiling hooks for inside instead.
Haha yes the rig is 11 feet tall. I would not recommend leaving it outside all the time. I put mine up and take it down every time I use it.
If you want a rig for indoors especially with low ceilings I would recommend the Uplift rig. I have links to that one in my other video.
I’m thinking about buying one of these, how tall is this stand?
I’m thinking about getting this rig but still looking for an aerial silk to put on it. Where did you get your silk from? And how do you attach the silk to the rig?
Hey there.
Here is a link to a video I made on how to rig your hammock:

Here is where I got my hammock:

There is more info on hardware in this video up above. :)
I was wanting to get into Aerials but I am scared to do so cause idk how much weight it will hold... so I was curious how much can your rig hold?
Hey there! I want to preface this with everyBODY can do aerial yoga. This rig holds up to 600 pounds. (Not saying you are 600 pounds, but this rig holds that much with dynamic force in mind. This is basically your gravity as the Earth pulls you down to its surface.) So if you are a larger human, I'd say be a little more cautious on this rig. There are other rigs out there though that hold thousands of pounds, so definitely do your research and look around. I know Ludvvig has a rig that is built to those specifications. I would definitely talk to some larger members of our aerial population for more insight. There is the FB group Aerial Safety and the Reddit Group Aerials. I hope this helps!
Question: For aerial hoops, someone told me you’d have to install cement into the ground for the stand is that true?
I use my aerial hoop just fine, I don't do drops or swinging. The cement into the ground thing I've never heard of in the aerial community. Extra safety is always cool but if you really want stability I would look for a rig made specifically for swinging and drops like the vvolfy rig. There are a lot of brands out there you just want to make sure that they have sufficient dynamic force.
Thank you for showing how to set it up with only one person! It looks like you can rig a hammock and silks on it, but do you know if you're able to rig a lyra hoop as well? I'm torn between this one and the x pole a frame.
I have a lyra and I attached it to it no problem. The two rigs are very similar, one is a little more expensive than the other and one has a foot more in height. I was going to buy the x pole one, but there was no stock at the time.
@@kiarahelen6006 Oh that's great. Thank you 😁
@@julesmariee absolutely! If you're open to sharing when you get your rig, I would love to hear what you got. :)
@@kiarahelen6006 definitely 😁
Ive had this rig for 4 years and I used it for lyra as well! I was thinking about getting the x pole frame but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra space/height?
Hey I have a question! When you do the levels, can you do only 2 instead of 3? Would it still work? And how wide does it open up when it’s on the 2nd and third level?
You can absolutely do the two levels, however it's going to be more challenging to invert and do a lot of tricks because you're losing about 2 feet in height. Here are the specs on it, not sure what it is if you are reducing it to the second level. 9.21 ft (2.81 meter) wide x 8.2 ft (2.5 meter) deep x 8.85 ft (2,71 meters) tall. Hope this helps.
Kiara Helen Thank you!! I’m pretty short haha so for me it’s easier to do inverts and foot locks on it
@@alana2219 that's awesome. I honestly like the low hammock myself for restorative yoga. There are a lot of nice poses that bring you into surrender. :)
Hey girl it would be so so so so helpful if you could please send me a link to that set up? I have been on the hunt for the past year looking for a really tall gymnasium!!!
Hey! Here is the link to the uplift active rig. upliftactive.com/collections/aerial-rigs/products/aerial-yoga-indoor-outdoor-a-frame-swing-stand-rig?aff=135 It's an affiliate link, so if you purchase from here you help to support my channel.
What brand is this rig looking for one to buy. And I know nothing about rigs. If anyone has any brands or tips for me that would be amazing. (:
Hey there, It's a yoga body rig. I'm happy to answer any of your questions!
Hi!! I’m so sorry I’m late but where did u get your aerial hammock and rig?
Yeah
Hey! How is this different that Silks for Acrobat performers? Thank you!
There are several different types of aerial apparatuses! This one is sling or hammock, there is also split silk, lyra, trapeze, cord de lisse, aerial straps, the cube, I'm probably missing some, but there is a whole world to choose from!
@@kiarahelen6006 i need a circus dictionary for your comment but thank u lol!
Is this safe for a hardwood floor?
I believe so. It has rubber feet!
How long did it take you to set up/breakdown?
15 minutes
i wanna buy but im scared if i spin i will hit my leg with the metal i have long legs is it safe??
Even at my height of 5'2'' I can hit my limbs on the metal. You just have to be aware of your body and make your rig work for you.
I'd recommend getting the Uplift Active one, I made another video on it, and that one would be much better because it can go higher. Since it can be raised up higher, you'll have more limb clearance. I have AFF codes on that video too to save some $$.
If you want to avoid the limb problem all together, you'd need to invest in someone installing a ceiling point for you. Ceiling points need to be set up by a professional so that it is safe to fly on. It needs to be attached to a beam and the beam needs to be structurally sound enough to hold your weight in dynamic force.
Hope this helps my long friend.
@@kiarahelen6006 thank you so much!! this helped alot
I’m trying to figure out what rig to buy.
It's really up to your personal preference. This rig is the yoga body rig. The uplift active rig works just as well and you can get an extender bar for it to make it 13 feet high. I have links in the description if you're looking to buy. :)
how long is your hammock??
Hey there :3 she's 5.5 m
Odd question, but how tall are you? I'm considering buying this rig but would like to know how much taller it actually is :)
Haha, I'm relatively short, 5'2" (and a half). You might struggle with this particular rig if you are over 5'8''. I know xpoleus has a rig that is a foot higher and they have the option to get the bar extender. :) There are multiple kinds of rigs, some are rated for drops and some are not. (This one is not rated for drops.) Hope this helps!
Thank you! And how tall is your rig? I’m 5’1 and I’m wondering if this would be a good heights since I’ve been itching to get back on since studio closures due to COVID.
@@emilyrohman This rig is 10 feet tall and for the price, it was worth every penny. Personally, I am use to twenty foot ceilings but this works for me during Covid times. :) The only thing is that this rig is not safe for drops, more so just gentle play. I have some performances on youtube as an example.
@@kiarahelen6006 where did you get your rig?
So I left my aerial stand up during the colder months, and we get a good amount of rain, it's spring now, and most of the parts come out fine, but there are two pieces that are stuck together so hard, there's no way I can pry them apart, I've tried WD-40, no luck, any last resorts? 😭
Oof, that's tough. Try twisting it to open it, otherwise, you might have to reach out to the manufacturer to get them to send you new parts. The rule of thumb is that if your rig isn't made for long-term outdoor use, like the Yoga Body or the Uplift, it's best practice to break it down and bring it inside to keep it from rusting. Best of luck!
@@kiarahelen6006 thank you! Yeah, pretty dumb of me 😅 just subbed :)
@@sierrajade538 🥺 its okay to make mistakes.
Awesome! Where did you buy the rig?
Hey there. It's a yoga body rig :)
@@kiarahelen6006 Oo that’s the one I was going to get :)

Not for this one, but the Uplift Active one you can! I have another video for it with a coupon code on my channel.
Nice and easy ,where can i find this
