What is Float Therapy?
Floating has been around since the 1950s, and is a simple way to unplug from the outside world. You’ll spend time in a private float tank filled with warm, highly concentrated Epsom salt water, allowing your body to effortlessly float while you relax in a quiet, low-stimulation environment. You can customize your experience with our lights and music in the tank, if you are wanting a dim light option Tank 3 has starry lights on the ceiling.
Your Float Experience
Your float session takes place in a private float tank with approximately 10 inches of warm, skin-temperature water saturated with over 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt. The high salt concentration allows you to float effortlessly, creating a relaxing, weightless experience. We recommend floating naked . Water, air, and you as close to the same temperature as can be giving the feeling of floating in space. During your session, you can customize the lights and music or enjoy complete darkness and silence, whatever feels most comfortable for you.
