How to hang yoga trapeze from the ceiling?
- Locate two joists in an area that will give you a meter of each side for fee flwoing movement. 3-4 feet from the wall is ideal.
To locate joists tap a small nail into the ceiling or using the stud finder. Most joists are usually 16 or 24 inches apart. For safety and strength it is best to put one lag screw eye bolt in each beam for maximum support. If in doubt of integrity of beams get professional assistance. - Find the middle line of each joist and position the eye bolts in the center to have the best weight bearing capacity of the hidden joists. Use the marker to indicate the middle point of each joist.
- Drill 1/8 inch holes at the 2 marked points. Holes should be 5-6 inches deep and perpendicular to the ceiling. Then screw the eye bolt in, you may need pliers to tighten until all the threads have sunk into the joist.
- Thread the looped end of 1 rope through the eye of 1 eye bolt, send the cut end of the rope through the looped end of the rope and pull to tighten. The adjustable rope with knots should safely hang down from being looped around the eye bolt. Repeat with the second rope and eye bolt.
- Place each “S” hook of your Yoga Swing above the knot of your desired height.
Here you can watch a video on how to install and fix the hanger for the areal yoga swing in the ceiling.
This is the main principle. If you choose a different kit, it is no problem – these are all just minor changes, the basic idea is always the same

A stand for yoga can be used by both children and adults. But also for many other exercises: whether as a swing to sit on or to hang on, to support or to swing.
Gymnastics on the trapeze simultaneously promotes balance, physical strength, skill and agility. If you combine a trapeze with gymnastic rings, you will get a trapeze swing.
Make your own yoga stand
For indoor use, a wooden yoga trapeze stand is more beautiful. Metal yoga trapeze stand is more suitable for outdoor use.

How to hang yoga trapeze from a tree?
Select a safe spot where there is at least 2-4 feet of space in all directions.
If hanging from a tree, check to see that branch is secure and tree is rooted firmly in ground. If hanging from a beam, the beam must be sturdy and not infested by bugs. Test the strength of the beam or tree if necessary by having two people hang, each holding one handle before using swing or inverting.Place a rag over the beam to soften the edges where the rope will be creating friction with the beam to prevent early wear and fraying.
Move slowly to test to see that you have enough head room and ample space in all directions.
SAFETY REMINDERS
- Do a safety check before each use.
- Check stitching to be aware of any loose threads.
- Keep an eye on the condition of your rope and watch for fraying. If your swing is left outside ropes may need to be replaced every 6-12 months.
- Do a strength test before using your swing, have two people hanging or sitting from the swing.
- Listen to you body and discontinue use if pain is involved.
- Check to see if “swinging” is actually suitable in the place you have your Swing Yoga set up
