Float and Sauna

Float and Sauna

Floating weightlessly your body is perfectly supported by a cushion of silky skin-temperature liquid. Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (which together account for 90% of normal neuro-muscular activity), you conserve and redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy. This ultra-deep relaxation of floating “resets” the body’s hormonal and metabolic balance, strengthening resistance to and accelerating recovery from the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise.

Things to Know Before You Float

1. Avoid caffeine prior to the float session. Caffeine is fine after a float, but the stimulating effects can be counterproductive to the float itself.

2. Avoid shaving your legs 12-24 hours prior to your float. Epsom salt will not harm your shaved skin, but it will make the first 5-10 minutes a little uncomfortable while your skin gets used to the salt stinging.

3. Do not dye your hair 3 weeks prior to a float session.

4. Eat a small meal beforehand so hunger does not distract you.

5. You may bring a swimsuit if you wish, however most find the best way to float is “all-natural”

6. Come in without expectations as to what will happen.

7. We provide towels, shampoo, conditioner, earplugs, and lotion for you in the shower room.

8. Bring a contact lens case and solution if you wear contacts.

   *IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT YOUR FLOAT EXPERIENCE:

• If you’ve recently colored your hair, please wait a minimum of 3 weeks before floating. If you’ve chosen a bright color that bleeds, do not schedule a float until the color has fully faded. The color will damage our tanks.

• No swimming suit is required unless you choose; you will have total privacy.

• There is a shower in the float house to use before and after your float session; we provide shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. You may wish to bring a comb or brush and any other personal products you require. A hairdryer is provided.

• We do not offer shower caps, water can get in them. If you’d like to keep your hair dry you may bring a swim cap, though the sensation on your head will not allow you the full benefit of sensory deprivation.

• There is no music provided; for the maximum benefit of sensory deprivation, music is not recommended. However, those who wish to use their own phone for music are of course welcome to choose that.

• Although a float session can be very nurturing and supportive for healing, no open wounds are allowed. Trust us, the salt won’t feel good!

• The float tanks have a filtration system that cycles 4 times every 15 minutes. Additionally, we treat the water every night with enzymes and highly potent hydrogen peroxide and scrub the tanks regularly. With nearly 1000 lbs. of Epsom salt per tank, you can relax knowing that your float session will be bacteria-free (the salt content is similar to the Dead Sea). The water will have a silky feel due to the salt.

• The water temperature is approximately 96 degrees, the same temperature as your skin. Floating is not intended to be a warm bath, but to prevent feeling chilly while your body acclimates we recommend NOT taking TOO HOT of a shower beforehand.

• Our float pods do not have attendant call buttons.
