YUP® ACUPRESSURE MAT

✔️The YUP® MAT Experience:

Back (Duration 20 Minutes..)

Lying on your back is the most popular way to use The Shakti Mat. You can place your mat on any surface - but the most common is on a bed. Soft surfaces make contact between your mat and the lower back easier to achieve. Using The Shakti Mat as part of your bedtime routine supports the release of muscle tension, and prepares the body for a night of deep and restful sleep.

Neck & Shoulders (Duration 15+ Minutes..)

Most people tend to carry their physical stress and tension in the back, neck, and shoulders area - this Yup position can be particularly useful to support relief. Use The Yup Pillow, or roll up your Yup Mat to target these areas. Applying The Yup Mat to the neck and shoulders soothes tired and tense muscles as a result of poor posture, exercise, and everyday stress. 

Belly (Duration 5+ Minutes..)

If you're someone who experiences discomfort in the belly region, The Shakti Mat may be the perfect tool to soothe and relieve. Apply The Yup Mat to your belly simply by lying face down on the floor or bed. This will warm and relax the muscles and soothe any tension.

Feet (Duration 5+ Minutes)

Feet are covered in pressure points making standing on The Yup Mat a perfect way to achieve a deep acupressure effect. Try standing on your Mat or Footpad first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. Both support healthy circulation, tension release in tired feet, and can provide an energizing start to the day. Start off in socks, and slowly build up to bare feet.

✔️Tips for your first Yup....

• These are just some of the most popular ways to use The Yup Mat, but there really are no limits. Simply pick a tense area you want to target, and go.

• The first time on a new area will often feel sensitive, but over time your body will adjust to the sensations.
• Some areas you may find will only need a few minutes of application. While others, like your back, may take more time.
• Often the areas that hurt the most, need it the most, as this can be a reflection of tension stored in the area.

• When you're starting out on a new area you can adjust the intensity by limiting or adding body weight onto the spikes. The first time Yup-ing your feet, for example, try sitting on the edge of a couch to limit the pressure that is being applied.
• Aim to use your Yup Mat with bare skin, but you can always start out with thin clothing between your skin and the mat while your body adjusts.
