Shakti Mat NZ

Acupressure is an ancient healing practice that goes back thousands of years. Closely related to acupuncture, it works by stimulating acupoints along your body’s meridian system – without puncturing your skin. Like cold plunge or deep tissue massage, stimulating those points and leaning into discomfort can release tension and change everything you know about relaxation. By building a deeper awareness of your mind and body, acupressure helps you turn your attention inwards and tap into the amazing healing tool that is you. This maximises the time you have to take care of yourself, amplifying any recovery or wind-down routine – and leaving you more relaxed and refreshed than you would be otherwise. India is an ancient home of acupressure. It’s where The Shakti Mat was invented, where our products are still handmade, where our craftspeople live, and where we give the most back.
