What you need to know
-
The Shakti Headband targets key acupressure points around the sides and back of the head to help you:
• Relieve mild headaches
• Soothe a tight jaw
• Maintain focus and mental clarity
• Ease tension in your face
• Maximize your downtime -
There are two key ways to use your Headband:
1. Across the centre of your forehead to relieve head tension
2. Under your chin with the spikes targeting tension in your jawA light wrap is all you need for each spike to get started. Wear it for at least 15 minutes and let all that tension melt with each breath.
If you already own a Shakti Mat or Pillow, adding your Headband to your practice is a great meditation aid. You can also use it for a deeper savasana, or mental clarity at your WFH space.
Pro tip
• Take the pressure up a notch by wrapping the Headband under the base of your skull and resting your occipital bone on a yoga block.
• Experiment with the intensity once you’re used to the sensation by tightening or loosening the strap
-
Pressing spikes into your face might look like the opposite of relaxing, but the Headband is designed to provide subtle pressure. There will be a slight sensation in the beginning, but that’s completely normal. Acupressure doesn’t work if you can’t feel it.
Circulation will increase and you’ll feel tension “let go” as pressure lifts from your head.
-
Shakti Headbands have Level 1 spikes. Why? Because wrapping spikes is different to lying on them. You can adjust the intensity with compression as opposed to relying on gravity alone. Perfect whether you want to increase the intensity of each spike—or ease off for a therapeutic touch.

- Alison L.Verified Buyer2 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsAcupress Headband, mat and pillow
I love my mat, definitely recommend. I find it really relaxing and sleep better if I use it before bed.
Happy with the headband too.
- Cameron D.Verified Buyer1 week agoRated 2 out of 5 starsWanted to love this, as love my mat and pillow!
I really wanted to love this as I love my mat and pillow, and the quality is fantastic. Unfortunately, the headband (that I bought to help my headaches) makes them much worse! D'oh!

Great quality and value for money. Provides relaxation of tight muscles on my face.
- Benjamin W.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsJaw and Facial Tension Relief Bar None
I tend to carry a lot of my stress and tension in my jaw, cheeks, neck, and upper back. It's been such a persistent fact of life that I often forget just how intensely I'm clenching and tensing up--to the point of being a running joke with friends and family. Along with my Shakti mat, I've found the headband to be an absolute delight! Whether for a tight face and jaw or simply feeling like you need some sort of release, in general, the headband consistently grounds, relaxes, and restores me in ways I did not think possible. 10/10!
