THE SCIENCE

We’ve designed the Yogi Hoodie and Jacket to mimic the benefits of Acupressure.

Acupressure is based on the concept of life energy, which flows through 'meridians' in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupressure points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by an elbow or with various devices. Firm pressure against the skin on these acupressure points has been found to stimulate the body to release helpful hormones, like endorphins and oxytocin, which can help supply people with energy, pain relief, and feelings of happiness. 

According to Eastern medicine, by stimulating these points, we can help balance the flow of energy-called qi-throughout the body to restore and maintain the proper function of body systems. Our bodies run on electricity, just like anything else.

Here are some of the incredible findings and research related to acupressure:

Yogi Jacket & Hoodie we have designed the Spike pads with hypoallergenic plastic spikes to keep it safe. We have used the knowledge of ancient medicine and modern scientific advances to carefully shape the spikes pad for maximum benefits.

When you lay down on the acupressure spikes, they deeply massage your back, alleviating stress and muscle tension. For a fraction of the price of the massage, you can get unlimited massages whenever and whenever you want. You will notice results from the very first session.

Massage also stimulates the release of endorphins, which act as powerful natural painkillers. It also helps in improving blood flow and lymphatic circulation which supply oxygen to the cells.
