Some yoga experts recommend placing the hooks 16 inches (40.64 cm) apart. However, others suggest a different way to determine the ideal spacing. Stand with your arms spread out at your sides in a “T” pose, then bend your elbows up 90° so that your fingertips point at the ceiling and your palms are facing in. Measure the distance between your fingertips on each hand to determine the most comfortable distance between the hooks.

Yes, as long as the bar is securely mounted. Don’t try to hang your trapeze or hammock from a pressure-mounted pull-up bar.

A 4 yard basic hammock is best for a 9 to 10 foot (2.75 to 3 meter) ceiling if you want the bottom of your hammock to be at hip height from the floor. A 5 yard basic hammock is best for restorative yoga if you want the bottom of your hammock to be close to the floor.
