Shakti
Shakti traces its mat to a Swedish mother-and-son project launched in Stockholm in 2007, with production in India and later regional businesses.
Shakti: origin & history.
The Shakti story crosses borders from the beginning. Om developed a modern mat inspired by the Indian bed of nails, while his mother Nadine helped finance the first 500 mats made in India. Their first public presentation took place at Stockholm’s Harmony Expo on 31 March 2007. That Swedish launch is distinct from the place of manufacture and from the New Zealand business developed in 2014. The current range extends to cushions and smaller pressure tools. The Classic mat remains its clearest expression: a cotton-covered foam pad topped with rows of moulded spikes, offered in several intensities for a deliberately tactile pause.

Discover the Shakti selection.
A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
Intensity is the useful distinction here, rather than the mat’s colour alone. The Level 1 Black edition is separate from Level 2 and Level 3, and from the Premium range; choose through the manufacturer’s guidance rather than a promise of stronger results.
