Everything you need to install your Yoga Wall — step by step.
The YOGA WALL® is designed around our patented ball-and-socket hardware system. You mount the spring-loaded socket wall plates into ¾″ hardwood veneer plywood. The wall belts and bars snap into the wall plates with a brass ball — giving you tremendous flexibility of use.
The Basic Setup uses 3 rows of wall plates. The Deluxe Setup uses 5 rows. Plates are mounted to the plywood in columns 16″ apart. The plywood is then attached to the wall by bolting 2″×4″s horizontally into existing wall studs, then screwing the plywood into the 2×4s.
We have a router template available to prepare the plywood for the wall plates — contact us for rental details.
3 rows of wall plates — ideal for home practitioners or smaller spaces. Covers the core range of yoga wall exercises and belt positions.
5 rows of wall plates — the preferred choice for studios and serious practitioners. Offers the full range of inversions, traction work, and therapeutic applications.
You supply the tools; we supply the hardware system. Purchase your ¾″ hardwood veneer plywood at your local lumber yard.
Plate columns are spaced 16″ apart horizontally (required for Wall Bar use). Use this table for the exact row heights from the floor when planning your layout.
| Row | Basic Setup (3-row) | Deluxe Setup (5-row) | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Row 1 (lowest) | 2¼″ from floor | 2¼″ from floor | Leg & hip work, grounding poses |
| Row 2 | 3′-3″ from floor | 1′-8″ from floor | Standing poses, mid-body support |
| Row 3 | 6′-6″ from floor | 3′-3″ from floor | Upper body, shoulder work |
| Row 4 | — | 4′-10″ from floor | Chest openers, backbends |
| Row 5 (highest) | — | 6′-6″ from floor | Inversions, full traction |
Tip: Mark each row position on the plywood before routing to verify spacing with a tape measure.
Buy ¾″ hardwood veneer plywood at your local lumber yard. Cut to your wall dimensions before routing. Basic = fewer sheets; Deluxe = more.
Use the router template with your router and ¾″ double-flute cutting bit to cut holes for the wall plates — spaced exactly 16″ apart. Use the 1⅜″ butterfly bit for secondary holes.
Locate wall studs. Bolt 2″×4″ boards into studs at each row height. Use a level to ensure everything is plumb before proceeding.
Screw prepped plywood onto the 2×4 backing. Pre-drill holes to prevent splitting. Verify flush and level before fully tightening fasteners.
Insert spring-loaded socket wall plates into the routed holes. Secure with an allen wrench and socket wrench per the hardware instructions. Use C-clamps to hold plates in position as needed.
Snap wall belts, wall bars, and accessories into the ball-and-socket fittings. Test each connection for a firm snap-in. Your Yoga Wall is ready!
