GETZET This rug will feel comfortable lying down so take the time to find the right position for you. You may also want to experiment with lying on a towel until you find the right level of feel. The nails have a rounded tip, so you can't hurt, but people with sensitive skin, hemophilia or psoriasis should use the mat with caution. The acupressure mat allows your body to start breaking down toxins, so remember to drink water after use. Using your Yogi Bare acupressure mat couldn't be easier. Do not worry because the round plastic tips are painless and create a gentle stimulation. Here are some tips and positions to help you make the most of your mat while remaining comfortable: Standing - Energy saving for the whole body. Standing barefoot on the carpet simulates a pleasant reflexology session. Build yourself to lift one leg and enjoy the energising sensations on the foot when contacting on the mat. Change your legs and repeat. Upper back lying on the mat. Let your shoulder blades fall into your back to the tailbone and blend into the mat. Enjoy the feeling of the back muscles that are stimulated and released. Pillow - face, jaw and neck Fold the mat and use as a pillow, avoiding contact with eye.
