The world’s wellbeing starts with you
High five for taking this step into your own self-care journey. We’re here to bring you the therapeutic touch of ancient wisdom straight from the heart of India, the birthplace of acupressure.
Laying on spikes is thousands of years old. Turns out, a little discomfort at first can lead to remarkable benefits later. Your new spiky BFF might look a little scary, but she’s got some seriously amazing secrets to share.
Embrace the 'ouch' and read on…

No one forgets their first Shakti
For some, the effect is instantly relaxing. For others, the start can be a little more challenging.
We’re all wonderfully unique and every body is different. Any discomfort you feel reflects how much tension you’ve been holding onto. Stick with it and you’ll adapt to the sensations in no time.
Try to Shakti for 20 minutes every day for one full week and you’ll see what all the buzz is about.

It's not just a mat. It's a movement.

What’s in it for you?
In the Ayurvedic tradition, yogis lie on a 'bed of nails' to increase physical and mental well-being. Similarly, lying on the Shakti Mat triggers your body's natural pain relief and releases endorphins and oxytocin - also known as 'happy hormones'.
Daily Shakti can help with:
- Back, neck and shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress and inner turmoil
- Improved blood circulation
- Muscle recovery after sports
- Deeper, more restful sleep
Page 6
Alright, let’s do this!
- Take 20 minutes for each Shakti session. Lay with your whole back on the mat and remember to exhale as you lay back!
- Newbies, start on a bed or sofa. Gradually work up to using the mat on the floor for max benefits.
- If you’re a sensitive soul, rock a thin tee or drape a sarong over the mat. Aim to eventually use the mat on bare skin for an extra dose of those ‘happiness hormones‘.
- Lay with feet on the floor, knees up. This puts your lower back into direct contact with the mat.
- This 20 minutes is all about you. Music, meditation apps, nature sounds - get creative to enhance your experience. Pro tip: 'yoga nidra' meditations pair perfectly with Shakti.
- The first few minutes can be tough and you might want to bail. Breathe through it. After 5 minutes, the discomfort subsides and the bliss begins!

Relaxing back
As soon as you lay on the mat, your blood circulation increases, making your back feel warm and tingly. After 5 minutes, your body starts producing those magical 'happiness hormones'. This makes the spikes feel less sharp as your body relaxes into the experience.
Daily Shakti sessions help soften fascia and release tension from tight muscles.
Page 8
Happy feet
Standing on your mat wakes up your nervous system and gets you going. Perfect while brushing your teeth in the morning! It boosts blood flow to your feet and ankles and gives your whole body a reflexology workout.
Got sensitive feet? Wear thin socks and start with your heels just off the mat. One day, you’ll graduate to full barefoot bliss!
Page 9
Easy neck & shoulders
Shakti Mat and Shakti Pillow are your secret weapons against neck and shoulder tension. Roll up your mat and zero in on those tight spots. Or grab a Shakti Pillow - it’s curved just right to hit those tricky areas.
Acupressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system. Google it, it’s pretty cool!
Page 10
Two ranges, infinite bliss
It’s all about helping you relax, recharge and feel amazing. You can choose between two ranges, because acupressure should be tailored to everybody.
Our Classic Range is that loyal friend who’s always got your back. Dependable, tried-and-true, ready to melt away any tension. She’s not trying to be fancy - she’s the original, getting the job done.
The Premium Range is what happens when ancient wisdom gets a modern makeover. Contemporary colours, cutting-edge design, conscious crafting - it’s been a true labour of love.
Classic or Premium - we don't judge. We just want you to find your perfect match. One thing’s guaranteed: It’s self-care made simple.

Stories from India
First off, thank you. When you shop Shakti, you directly support our craftswomen and their daughters in India.
In many rural areas of India, women are unfortunately still oppressed and struggle to find meaningful work. Since 2007, our vision has been to create a place where women can become self-sufficient and financially independent in an all-female environment. That’s why we only employ women at our Gratitude Factory in Varanasi - currently over 100 and counting!
We support them with good salaries, flexible hours and private healthcare. Plus, free meals, uniforms and prescriptions.
They’ve also got access to the Shakti Mat Emergency Medical Fund, which takes care of them or anyone in their wider family who suffers an accident or illness.
Our Shakti Scholarship Programme sends the daughters of our crafts-women to private school, with funding committed until age 18.
Meet six of our craftswomen below and don’t forget to check our website for even more interviews.

Geeta Devi (32)
Before Shakti Mat, I used to work as bonded labour in the agricultural fields. I sowed and harvested the fields all day, sweating under the hot sun which made me exhausted. Here I have a roof over my head and a fan, and I feel relaxed.
I talk to so many people now that my shyness has gone, before I came here I was fearful of talking to people. But since I have been earning my own money I am no longer under pressure. I have become very independent.
We only have female colleagues in the Gratitude Factory, there are no male employees. That’s why no-one in the village ever says anything bad about this place.
I feel like I’m part of a family, all these women are like my sisters. We are all from different castes and religions but all of us are treated equally. There is no discrimination between us. I feel very connected to this place, it feels like my real home.
Page 17
Shakuntala Devi (22)
For me and my husband and our three daughters our financial situation was very difficult. My children used to feel disadvantaged because they lacked so much. So there was a lot of stress and tension at home.
Since joining Shakti Mat, things are much better. Before I was very unhappy but since I came here I feel happy again. I don’t have to worry anymore and I can give my children everything they want. I am independent, I earn my own money and I don’t have to ask anyone for help.
I like the fact that people abroad buy the mats that I make. I’m always worried that the spikes hurt people when they lie on it, but what I make here has a good purpose, it’s good for the body and relieves pain.
Now my 8 year old daughter has admission to a new and better school under the Scholarship Programme. Everyone wants their children to do well, but this couldn’t have happened without Shakti Mat’s help. Thanks to this programme my daughter will have a better education and a better future.
Page 18
Nivedita Bhardwaj (22)
I’m so happy that I can do something that helps other people. I like the fact that what I make is being used all over the world. This makes me very proud.
It also makes me happy that people from other counties are concerned about us here in the villages in India. They provide all these facilities to us, from financial support in emergencies to good pay, medicines, good food and paid holidays. It’s so much better here than in other places around and we all feel incredibly proud that our company supports us so much.
First my mother came here and checked out the place. She was so impressed that she sent me here. She likes the fact that I work in a place where only women work. We live like a family together. I have great friends here and I can open my heart and talk about anything with them. The atmosphere is very friendly.
Now I’m independent and proud of myself. I have money and can buy the things I want. Also, my mother is very proud of me, she tells all the other people that her daughter has a job here. Even the people in the neighborhood now say 'Yes, this girl has proved herself right!'

Sunita Kumari (24)
In 2015 I was married and went to live in my husband’s home. He was a drunk and a gambler, he was not a good man. So I came back to my parents, and now we are separated.
My parents are laborers, they are very poor and this is why I come to work here. My brother died at a young age and my mother was bedridden, but she has had to start working now, all three of us have to work because of our poverty.
I feel better and happier now because I earn good money on my own and can help my parents.
We have every comfort here, the factory is very clean, we get free medicines and meals. We are supported by the company in case of any emergency and I can take as much paid leave as I want.
Here, there are many women from poor families who can’t afford a good education for their children, especially their daughters. Women are still oppressed in our society. When a girl is born the parents worry about her education and marriage. Shakti Mat are providing a better education to the daughters of the employees, and this is an excellent thing.
Page 20
Vinita Devi (30)
I married young and went to live with my in-laws. They have not been kind to me. I had to rise at 3:30am to do all the housework and cook. After that, I would go to the fields and work there. My in-laws used to insult me, no matter how hard I worked it made no difference. I faced a great deal of trouble because they did not treat me well.
Since I started working at Shakti Mat people have started respecting me more. I like working here, I’m in the company of people
I enjoy and I feel at peace. Our understanding is extremely good, we eat together, sit together, share our thoughts, it’s really nice. We get a lot of benefits here and the work is good. Working together keeps us united.
My daughter has just been admitted to the Shakti Mat Scholarship. Now she will go to a private school. I’m so happy that she will go there. People will see that she goes to this better school and change their attitude. They will understand that she is educated.

Neetu Yadav (22)
In my area everyone wants girls to marry young, my parents included. But I don’t want to get married. I was selected for college, but we had no money so I couldn’t go. Before my father had a heart attack, we had a shop, but it had to be closed.
My friend Radhika brought me here and I met Aunty Amma-Ji (Manager of the Gratitude Factory). She taught me how to print the fabric and that’s how I started working here. I hand all my money to my parents, and now they have dropped the issue of me getting married.
Before I came here I only had one set of clothes to wear. I would wash it each night so I could wear it the next day, it was all I had. This continued for a year. When I look back, things are so much better. Now I have many dresses to wear and it gives me immense happiness to put money into the hands of my parents.
One of the best moments was when Aunty Amma-Ji told me I could apply for support from Shakti Mat’s Emergency Medical Fund to help my sick father. Aunty-Ji is very good natured. She also takes care of the menstruation hygiene for all the girls by providing sanitary pads. Many girls don’t have them, so Aunty-Ji provides them.

By the way, the word 'Shakti' in Sanskrit means 'female power through compassion, creativity and nurturing'. We want everyone who meets a Shakti Mat to feel that energy.

Shakti Acupressure Footmat
Page 1
Restore yourself from the ground up
Page 2
Get started
Your feet ground you directly to the earth, so taking good care of them is always a smart move.
Eastern medicine says there are many reflexology and meridian points in your feet that connect to your whole body.
Stimulating these with acupressure can refresh tired feet and restore well-being all over.
All it takes is a little courage and a couple of steps.
Page 3
How it works
- Stand or sit with your feet firmly against the spikes.
- Spend 5-10 minutes daily.
- Take a few deep breaths to calm your mind.
- Adjust your weight to shift the pressure if you need to.
Page 4
When to use it
- While you brush your teeth
- When you’ve been on your feet all day
- Before or after running and hiking
- For a sneaky foot massage under your desk
Page 5
A word from the wise
Standing on spikes isn’t easy. Start with your heels off the pad, so that you can control the pressure to the soles of your feet.
Build up to stepping on fully with both feet, but don’t be alarmed if you need to step off after a few minutes.
Like most things worthwhile, it takes a little perseverance to build up a practice.
Just breathe through it, and you won’t believe how good it feels on the other side!

Shakti meditation cushion
Page 1
Two ancient Indian practices combined
Page 2
Meditation, reimagined
Reinvent your self-care journey with something wonderfully transformative and truly revolutionary. The Shakti Meditation Cushion is part acupressure, part meditation and 100% unexpected.
A revolution wrapped in sustainable comfort. It blends memory foam with a filling of shredded eco-latex mix, for grounded long or short sessions.
And here’s the twist... for the very first time, we are bringing spikes into the meditation practice. With our removable acupressure spike pad, you decide exactly how your session goes. Spikes today, relaxation tomorrow - anything's possible.
Page 3
Why spikes?
Traditional meditation requires calming the mind by bringing the attention to the breath moving in and out of the nostrils. For an over-active mind, this can be challenging.
With our acupressure spike pad, you simply bring your attention back to the sensation of the spikes on your seat. Trust us, it's a total game-changer!
Not only do you get an acupressure session while meditating, but you now have a revolutionary and very physical method to train your mind into calmness.
Page 4
What’s so special?
1. Two-in-one magic: acupressure meets meditation. Ground yourself with a stimulating sensation while sinking into total calm. Not feeling the spikes? Simply tuck the panel away.
2. Next-level comfort: memory foam + shredded eco-latex mix = the dream team for perfect posture. No sliding, no fidgeting, just you and pure, blissful moments.
Page 5
3. Built to last: made from high-quality, sustainable materials. Your meditation cushion isn't a passing trend - it's your lifelong meditation companion.
4. Zen goes everywhere: with the practical carry handle, you take your cushion wherever you go: living room, yoga studio, outdoor spot - you and your pillow, everywhere.
Page 6
Get started
Grounding yourself with the acupressure panel is the easiest way to get started - also for beginners. Put it on top of the cushion before sitting down, with the zipped side to the floor.
Sit cross-legged with your ankles on the floor or kneel over the cushion with your knees facing outwards. Aim for a long spine with your hips above your knees.
Page 7
Positioning yourself towards the edge will help lower your knees and tilt your sacrum forward. This makes it easier to straighten your back.
5 minutes on spikes and they’ll anchor your mind to the sensation. Tension will release in your largest muscles as you drift into a meditative state.
For a softer experience, simply remove the acupressure pad.
Page 8
Pro tips
- Wear thin shorts or leggings with the acupressure pad.
- Struggling to sit cross-legged? Support your hips with blankets or cushions under your knees.
- Place the cushion on a yoga mat or carpet to dial up the grip and ground your ankles and knees with extra softness.

How to use
Once you are in your leg wraps, it's hard to move around. Walking will be painful!
So fix yourself a cuppa, get your Netflix and stretch out on the sofa while your wraps get to work.
Oh, and you need to use them on bare skin. These spikes will ruin your sportswear.

Step 1: Lay the leg wraps out on a sofa or bed as shown. Make sure the compression straps are on the right hand side.
Step 2: Lay your leg over both wraps, positioning your leg in the centre.

Step 3: Upper leg first, bring the wrap around the thigh and connect the numbers 1, 2 and 3. Aim for each spike to be in contact with skin, so adjust the order if that works for you. The fit should be snug, but the pressure limited at this point.
Step 4: Now start to wrap the compression strap around the thigh, pulling and tightening to get exactly the pressure you want.

Step 5: Secure the compression strap at the end with the grab-pad to hold the pressure.
Step 6: Repeat for the lower leg.

Pro tips
- There is discomfort at the start, but this will ease away as your body adjusts to the sensation.
- For those who use the Shakti Mat, you will know that this softening happens around 3-5 minutes in. For the leg wraps it takes longer and this is normal, especially with more compression.
- More pressure is more intense. Less is more relaxing. The power of the Shakti Leg Wraps is that they meet you where you’re at.

Pro tips
- If you want to fast-track recovery and get deep into those muscles, tighten the pressure. To soften and soothe your legs, use less pressure.
- Slowing your breath will help your body relax. Wiggling your foot will adjust the pressure in your calf.
- Your legs are unlike anyone else’s. While these instructions are ideal to get started, you will find your own perfect fit after a few tries.
