Why choose Shakti?
Since the Shakti Mat was created in 2007, many imitations have come along, but few are made with the same values. Here are 5 reasons why the Shakti Mat is an investment worth making.
Design
We believe that effective acupressure mats are defined by the quality of their materials. That's why Shakti Mats are made to be longer, sharper and more durable. It delivers an acupressure experience that's both powerful and effective. You can trust that your Shakti Mat will last for many years to come.
Manufacturing
We believe everyone who makes a Shakti Mat should have meaningful and rewarding work. That's why we support all Shakti employees in India with a living wage, emergency medical funds and investments in their children's education. When you lie down on your Shakti Mat, you can relax in the knowledge that our wellbeing-focused products care for more than just your own wellbeing.
Charity
We believe wellbeing is about more than ourselves – it extends to how we care for others. That's why Shakti donates 10% of profits to important causes for humanity. Your purchase contributes to positive change.
Craftsmanship
We believe in keeping tradition alive. That's why we employ local craftspeople to hand-make every Shakti Mat. The process begins with a piece of cotton and ends with a product made especially for you. You're part of a process that lets craftsmanship and quality flourish.
Sustainability
We believe everyone has a responsibility for their environmental impact. That's one reason we use certified organic cotton and dyes, and a filling of plant-based Blissfoam™. Feel proud of your purchase and secure in the knowledge that Shakti's products are toxin-free for you and the environment.
Whatever brand you're considering — here are three things to always look for.
3 things to look for in all acupressure products
Sharp spikes
Sharp spikes are the secret behind deep and effective acupressure. With anything else, you risk not quite reaching the spot. Fortunately, we have the sharpest spikes, and they'll last for years to come.
Quality materials
Acupressure has stood the test of time, and so should your tools. Our spikes hold their shape, the foam is made from tree sap, our cotton fabric is both soft and organic – and everything comes with a 5-year guarantee.
Choice
Acupressure is individual, and with four intensities you can adjust to your own tension. Think of it like a shoe shop with only one type of trainer!
What's your level?
Four quick questions match you with the right mat and the right intensity — Light, Original, Advanced or Ultra.
