| - This was my first ever "float" experience so I'll do my best to describe it from a newbie point. My friends all raved about this place so I finally found time to check it out for myself and see what was so special about float therapy.
First, the place is stunningly designed. It's got that modern, tranquil luxury feel. Soft blue tones and gentle, relaxing aromas set the mood immediately as you walk in. Seriously, I'd love their designer to do my house! Friendly and helpful staff explain all their services and the process. I decided to get 1h in both salt and float rooms.
The salt room. Dim yellowish light fills the room, the floors are covered with coarse pink Himalayan salt. The staff provide shoe coverings before you walk in. I decided to go barefoot to feel the salt on my feet, you still have to wear the coverings though. There are lounge chairs and a lit salt brick wall. There is a gentle hum of the machine that spews medical grade Himalayan salt into the air so when you breathe you will taste salt. In fact after an hour you will be covered completely with fine, soft salt dust (another reason to wear comfortable clothes... Probably the lighter the better...). Very relaxing atmosphere, but I was too excited to try to sleep. I kept taking deep breathes and tasting the salt. This helps with allergies, asthma and many other ailments by killing bacteria in your breathing passages. Felt wonderful afterwards!
The float room. The friendly staff will give you instructions on how to use the float rooms. As you walk in it's a beautiful clean shower room with a little "lobby" where you can leave your stuff. Yes, you go in naked! :) They instruct you to shower as you usually do with shampoo and body wash that they provide you with before and after the session. Just the shower itself was already fantastic, with perfect pressure and size! Finally... I get into the float room. Imagine a giant walk in tub with a little door. You have the option of "stars" lights on your ceiling or not. I chose to leave mine on. There is a soft blue light that fills the room. There is a bit more than ankle deep water, just enough for you to float comfortably. Once you lay down in the water you finally understand why it's called float. You know when you're swimming and you go on your back to relax? It's like that but without having to swim to keep yourself on top of the water. Along with the atmosphere of the room it feels like you are floating in space. This can be a profound place to meditate! And I HIGHLY recommend you to meditate! Especially if you generally have a hard time sending yourself into a meditative state, you will have no problem here. Your entire body is relaxed and your mind just follows. There's tranquil, gentle music playing that helps you take off into the abyss of zen and relaxation. About half way through I emerged from the state and decided to take the opportunity to explore the floating space by moving my body every which way I can. It felt amazing and I was able to stretch my back in a way I haven't been able to in years! This float really allows your body to be in a relaxation state otherwise impossible! Careful though the water is incredibly salty! They have a squirt bottle within arms reach for you in case you get any of salt water in your eyes. That definitely came in handy. Once you are done, you shower off and you will immediately feel how soft your skin has gotten and how thick your hair feel!
Overall this is a fantastic place! If you are looking for the new thing that can give you that ultimate relaxation experience, this is the thing to try! Cannot wait to return!
