• Tension-free muscles
• Increased circulation
• Mental clarity
• Calm and focus
• Deeper sleep
• An ongoing sense of wellbeing

The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Lying down with the Mat under your back and shoulders is perfect, but you can use the Mat to target tension anywhere throughout your body.

Combining Shakti with yoga and meditation—either seated or through poses like sphinx and pigeon—can also help incorporate acupressure into your recovery or wellbeing routine.

To make it easy you’ll receive access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase, unlocking the ability to double your Shakti benefits in minutes.

Will it hurt? Yes. But only for a little in the beginning.

Each spike responds to tension in your body, so more tension = more sensation. The initial “Ouch!” you feel activates your body’s pain response and tells it to send happiness hormones and pain-relief chemicals to the area you’re targeting. If those spikes aren’t sharp enough—or you’re beyond relaxed already—you won’t feel much.

After a few minutes, the tingling sensation fades into a deep, relaxing warmth. The redness is purely a circulation boost. You might even fall asleep.

There are two things to consider when looking at intensities:

‎ 1. Acupressure is personal
‎ 2. Shakti spikes are much sharper than anything else out there.

Like the firmness of a mattress or the pressure of a massage—acupressure is the opposite of ‘one size fits all’. If you go too far in the beginning you’re less likely to build a solid habit. It’s why we offer three intensities that all unlock the benefits of acupressure.

Light

Lying on spikes is weird, so we made this a less intense option. Expect less initial discomfort thanks to more points per spike. Ideal for anyone unsure about acupressure.

Original

Our most popular intensity has fewer points per spike to balance initial discomfort and a much deeper release.

Advanced

Our deepest release isn’t the last stop on your journey—it’s only for the most experienced. Expect a serious sensation to start, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.

Premium Shakti Mats feature:

• Precision-engineered spikes (our most effective yet)
• Discreet YKK® zippers (as opposed to self-fastening closures)
• Softer, yet stronger, organic cotton outer (a cut above our standard weave)

Classic Mats are finished with:

• Signature spikes (the ones that put us on the map)
• Self-fastening closures
• Durable organic cotton outers
• Lightweight and hypoallergenic PU foam inners

Premium and Blissfoam™ Shakti Mats are filled with organic Blissfoam™ inners. They’re soft enough to sink into, firm enough to push back, and perfect for molding each spike into deep tension.

Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with a Shakti Mat is that you can activate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to lie on them, and you don’t need to book an appointment either.
