If you want to install Yoga swing for your fitness routine, there are a lot of places you can do that.
Here is where and how you can set up your Yoga swing –
Hanging Yoga Swing From The Ceiling –
You can setup the seeing inside your house, from the ceiling. Make sure you find an area that has plenty of space around to move and your ceiling is strong enough to support the swing. If you’re unsure about installing, get some help from someone who has experience with this. In this section we’ll discuss how to install the ceiling hooks on to your ceiling. For this, you’ll be needing a measuring tape, a ladder, and a hammer drill (a high powered drill if your wooden ceilings). For concrete, you’d need two bits (a 6mm and a 12 mm), and for wood you’ll need just one (6mm). If you are sure you can do this, here’s how you should proceed –
- First, measure 70 cm from the center point from one hook to the other, and mark that.
- Place your ceiling hooks in your place and then using a pen, draw marks inside each of the two holes on either place, so you know where to drill.
- Move the ceiling hooks away and start drilling with your 6mm bit first, then going up to the 12mm (on concrete ceiling).
- Remove the nuts from the bolts and slide the bolt into its place. Put the ceiling hook in its place and then over the hook plate put the nuts back on and tighten them as hard as you can. As you tighten it, the bolt expands and hangs on to the concrete. If you’re using wooden bolts you should put your ceiling mount in place and then screw your wooden bolts down tightly until the bolt is fit with the plate.
- Check your hooks thoroughly for strength. See how stable they are secure and can hold the weight.
Just for extra security, make sure you show it to someone who has experience with it, or to a professional, and you’re okay to go.
Hanging Yoga Swing Over The Door –
Another great place to set up your Yoga swing is over the door. Before you begin though, make sure to check a few security details to be safe. Lock you r door properly, and let people know you’ll be using it for a while. Make sure the door is sturdy and can take your weight while doing your routine. For this, you’ll be needing a pair of daisy chains with door stoppers on one end, the swing, and of course, the sturdy door.
You can set it up quickly and safely, with a few simple steps. So, let’s begin –
- Place the door stoppers on the closing end of the door. Place them 12 inches apart from each other.
- Carefully close the door while pulling out any left slack. Lock the door to ensure safety and strengthen your swing.
- Depending on what aerial yoga pose you’ll be doing at any particular time, you can hook the swing up to any loop of the daisy chain.
