Aerial Silks Starter Kit - 11 Yards Aerial Yoga Hammock with Rigging

In this review of the Aerial Silks Starter Kit the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, ready-to-use kit for students and home practitioners who want secure hardware and a long length of fabric without hunting down parts separately. The reviewer found the included climbing-certified components and the 11 yards of 40-denier nylon fabric made setup straightforward and practice sessions feel safe enough for climbs, inversions, and restorative hammock work. This kit is best for people building strength and flexibility or adding aerial work to yoga and Pilates routines.

Key Features

• Professional grade safety: The kit includes O-rings, connecting rings and a 360 swivel rated and tested for aerial arts, providing confidence during drops and rotations.
• Premium 11-yard fabric: The 40-denier Nylon offers medium stretch for controlled moves while giving a non-slip feel on hands and feet for both basic and advanced sequences.
• Complete starter kit: Everything arrives in one box so students and home users can begin training immediately without sourcing separate rigging.
• Adjustable fit for rigging points: Two 3ft extension straps (daisy chains) make it simple to adapt the setup to ceilings, rigs, or trees up to 14ft high.
• Versatile practice options: Use the fabric for aerial silks technique, a yoga hammock, swing workouts, or to augment Pilates and mobility work.

Who It's For

This kit suits beginners and intermediate aerialists who want a single-box solution for home or studio use, including yoga students who want a hammock for restorative practice and fitness users adding aerial strength work. The included hardware and clear picture instructions make it accessible for users who are comfortable following rigging guidance and safety checks.

It may be less suitable for advanced aerial performers who demand ultra-low-stretch, professional show silks or for gyms that need custom commercial installations; those buyers should look for specialist fabrics and bespoke rigging solutions designed for high-frequency public use.

Pros & Cons

• Entire kit ships complete so beginners get both fabric and rigging in one purchase.

Cons
