Float Therapy for Deep Relaxation
Sensory Deprivation Float Pod
Float Weightlessly in 1,000+ Pounds of Epsom Salt
Your nervous system processes millions of sensory signals every day. Our float tank gives it a break.
In our sensory deprivation float pod, you'll float effortlessly in a solution denser than the Dead Sea. No light. No sound. No gravity pulling on your joints. Just you and complete stillness.
One hour of float tank therapy provides your nervous system with rest equivalent to approximately 6 hours of deep sleep. This isn't just relaxation—it's a full reset for your body and mind.
Our 2020 Royal Spa float pod holds over 1,000 pounds of pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salt dissolved in 180 gallons of water. The result is an environment where stress dissolves, muscles release, and your brain enters a deeply restorative state.

How Float Tank Therapy Works
Water temperature matches your skin at 94°F. When you can't feel where your body ends and the water begins, your brain stops processing sensory input. Combined with darkness and silence, your nervous system enters a rare state: complete rest.
Your brain shifts into theta wave activity—the same patterns found in deep meditation. Muscles release tension. Blood pressure drops. Stress hormones decrease. Mental clarity emerges.
The Epsom salt creates buoyancy while magnesium sulfate absorbs through your skin, supporting muscle function, sleep regulation, and mood stability.

Your Float Session
Session options: 60 minutes (recommended for first-timers) or 90 minutes. Both include time for pre and post-float showers.
Before: Shower to remove oils and products for optimal magnesium absorption.
During: You control the experience. Close the pod lid completely or leave it open. Lights on or off. Exit anytime. The first 15-20 minutes your mind stays active—normal. Then thoughts quiet and time fades.
After: Shower to rinse the salt. Your skin will feel exceptionally soft. Stay hydrated.
Benefits typically last 1-3 days, compounding with regular floating.
