Sensory Deprivation Floats

What Do You Experience in An Isolation Tank?

Many people describe using our floats like hitting the reset button on their life. The quiet, restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST) helps the floater learn how to truly let go and relax, which has become so difficult in our hectic society. Sensory deprivation effects include many physiological benefits such as reduced muscle tension, enhanced sleep-quality, and a deep meditative state.

Our isolation tank, often referred to as a sensory deprivation tank, supports an altered state of consciousness and the ability to escape the pressures of the day. The water is gently heated to the temperature of your skin and you float with low light and soothing music or immerse yourself in full sensory deprivation in the tradition light-proof, soundproof experience. Each pod is filled with enough water and dissolved Epsom salt to create a sense of weightlessness — allowing you to float effortlessly on the surface of the water; similar to being in the Dead Sea or outer space. Common benefits include an extraordinary state of relaxation, stress reduction, muscle recovery and enhanced creativity.

Who Can Benefit From Sensory Deprivation Float Therapy?

Floating can also be a safe place to decompress and allow meaningful personal discovery to occur. In addition to these benefits, habitual floating allows people to develop a type of “body memory” that promotes energy and a state of well-being you can take into your daily life.

Everyone can float and benefit from the therapeutic results. You don’t need any practice, knowledge or special discipline either. The float does all the work for you. It is especially beneficial for those who need support regarding:

1. Recovery from physical activity

2. Persistent muscle tension

3. Sleep quality

4. Mental focus

5. Relaxation and meditation

6. Creative performance

7. Nervous system regulation

What To Expect

The purpose of the float is to eliminate as many external stimulation as possible. This removal of stimuli (sensory deprivation) can induce a meditative state and transformative experience for the floater. Once relaxed in a float-state, the body is now totally supported, and there is little for the brain to do. Every muscle is able to relax as the effects of gravity are temporarily suspended. Here’s what you can expect when you arrive:

Step 1 - Arrive and check in. We’ll cover any questions you have together.

Step 2 - Next, take a quick shower in your private float room. This helps remove any excess oils before you begin. 

Step 3 - Put in earplugs. This keeps the world at bay and lets you rest uninterrupted. 

Step 4 - Step into your pool or pod. Now the fun begins. 

Step 5 - Sensored lights will slowly turn down, and your sensory deprived, relaxation experience will have begun.

Step 6 - Once your session is complete, the music fades in easing you out of your float.

Step 7 - Lights will turn on as you begin to move and reorient your mind and body.

Step 8- Step out of your pool or pod and walk to the fully stocked shower to rinse off excess salt water.

Step 8 - Get dressed, head to our stocked blow dry bar for your back-to-reality needs.

Step 9 - Bask in your post-float glow, have some complimentary tea, and enjoy your new state of calm.
