What are the differences between the Shakti Mat levels?Updated a month 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 8,000 spikes and is recommended to anyone who is new to Shakti. Level 1 effectively targets deep tissue and restores the body in the same way deep tissue massage would.

Level 2 has fewer spikes (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 intense step up and is reserved for experienced Shakti-ers only. This level has the least number of spikes (only 4,000) and provides an extremely intense acupressure experience.
