About the hammock
The Hammock is a structural fabric that is connected from two overhead points. It acts like a swing or soft trapeze. The Hammock is utilized to change one's dynamic relationship to the ground, allowing the participant to better understand their body. It is strong enough to hold a baby elephant so YOU will be safe.
