Trapeze – a fun way to build strength.Trapeze is a swing with a bar and two chains, ropes or bungees going up each side to a center point to form a triangle, then a single rope goes up to the swing mount. The trapeze can be hung on a single-point or two-point rigging system.
The Trapeze is a fun aerial apparatus that offers many benefits to children. Our trapeze is extra challenging as the bungee adds an element requiring extra focus and physical strength.
Benefits of the Trapeze for Kids:
- Upper body strengthening
- Core stability
- Motor planning
- Bilateral coordination
- Increased vestibular input
- Rhythm and timing
Ways to use the Trapeze in Aerial Yoga
- Obstacle Course. It makes a wonderful obstacle in an aerial yoga obstacle course. Kids can swing from obstacle to obstacle, do a flip, or climb to swing position.
- Do a Short Flow. Kids can make up their own sequence of movements or have them imitate your flow to improve executive functions.
