Yoga and an Acupressure Mat?
Do you like yoga as a relaxation and stress control medium? You may be surprised to learn you can perform many yoga poses on the Shakti mat. The acupressure actually boosts the effect of your yoga poses. It is a good idea to place a cloth between you and the mat until you become accustomed to the sensations. Begin with yoga poses in which your weight is evenly balanced, this could be seated and forward bending.
As you progress and become more confident, you can opt for tree poses where all your weight is on one foot or a more advanced bow pose where your abdomen is the main area in contact with the Shakti mat. The bow pose is great for those with menstrual or digestive problems as the points of the acupressure mat are stimulating the abdominal area.
Over time, you will become more confident and can try more advanced poses such as the tree pose where you rest all of your weight on one foot, or the bow pose in which your abdomen is totally supported by the acupressure mat. The latter pose is excellent for those who are suffering digestive or menstrual issues as the lotus flower points free energy in the abdomen.
