What are the differences between the Shakti Mat levels?Updated 4 months ago

The intensity of Shakti Mats and Pillows comes down to the number of spikes. More spikes = less initial discomfort. Fewer spikes = more because your body exerts the same pressure over a smaller surface area.

Level 1 has just over 8,000 spikes and is ideal for anyone who is new to acupressure. Level 1 effectively targets deep tissue and restores the body in the same way massage would.

Level 2 has fewer spikes (about 6,000) for a deeper release. This is a more intense pressure experience that will take some time to adjust to. Perfect for those who have built up a regular practice on Level 1.

Level 3 is an even further step up and is reserved for the brave. This level has 4,000 spikes and provides an extremely intense experience. Expect serious sensation up front, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.

Level 4: Limited Edition is only for the experienced. Our most intense spikes ever – perfect if you're craving more from your already advanced Shakti practice.
