And what about you? 🔋 We spend a lot of our time making sure everything and everyone else is okay, it’s important to spend some time filling up your battery too.

Floatation therapy can be helpful in removing all stimuli and distractions, whilst floating in 1000lbs of Epsom salts. This helps the brain and body rest without gravity, distractions or sound, resulting in a calmed nervous system and recharged mind and body.

Whether this is your first time floating or a few sessions in, here are our floating tips for beginners 💧

1. Don’t force yourself to relax
You don’t need to force anything. Just lie back and let the water hold you. Relaxation happens naturally when your body feels safe and supported.

2. Let your head fully rest back in the water
If your neck feels tense at first, gently tuck your chin slightly down towards your chest, this usually helps you settle.

3. Try different arm positions to find what feels most comfortable
Some people prefer arms by their sides, others like a cactus position. There’s no “right” way, experiment and see what feels natural.

4. Expect your mind to wander at first
Especially during your first float. This is normal. Thoughts may feel louder at first because you’re finally still. Let them come and go without judgment.

5. Focus on your breath to calm any initial anxiety
We love the box breathing method for this. Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4 and repeat.

Let us know if any other methods help you! 🫶

On the surface, they might seem similar. But floating in our pods is a completely different experience for your body and nervous system. This is why 👇

💧 Weightlessness allows your muscles to fully relax in a way gravity never permits.

💧 Half a tonne of Epsom salt creates buoyancy that reduces pressure on joints and muscles.

💧 Skin-temperature water (so precise you can’t feel where your body ends and water begins).

💧 Complete sensory quiet activates your parasympathetic nervous system.

💧 Helps decrease cortisol, allowing your body and mind to truly rest.

💧 Removes external distractions, creating a deeply meditative experience.

We do love a bath! But floating is something else entirely 🧠

Open pod or closed pod, what’s the difference?

Both options offer a deeply calming float experience. The choice is always yours. But if you’re curious about the full sensory experience, here’s what changes 👇

✨ Lid Closed
With the lid closed, light and sound are minimised. Creating a true sensory-reduced environment. Many people find this allows their mind to settle more fully and their body to soften into deeper relaxation.

It also keeps the space warm and cocoon-like, enhancing that supported, weightless feeling.

💧 Lid Open
Perfect if you’re new to floating or prefer a little more openness. You’ll still experience the buoyancy of the water and the physical comfort it provides.

You can always begin with the lid open and close it later if and when you feel ready.

There’s no “right” way to float, only what feels best for you.
But if you’re ready to switch off completely, closing the lid can take the experience to another level ☁️

You won’t. And here’s why 👇

Each float pod contains around 1000 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved into water that’s only about a foot deep, which counteracts gravity and makes your body effortlessly buoyant 💧

Because of the high salt concentration, your body naturally floats on the surface. You can’t roll over. You can’t turn face-down. You can’t sink beneath the water. Even if you fall asleep, your body stays safely supported.

That’s one of the reasons floating is so powerful for the nervous system. When your brain realises it doesn’t need to “stay alert” to keep you safe, it can shift out of fight-or-flight and into deep relaxation 💤

Many people even drift into light sleep inside the float pod without any fear of rolling over or going under. The buoyancy does the work for you.

Floating removes pressure from your joints, reduces muscle tension, and creates a weightless environment where your body can truly switch off.

And once you feel it, you’ll understand why people say it’s one of the closest experiences to zero gravity you can get on Earth 🌍

Struggling with sleep? It might not be your bed, it could be your nervous system 🌱

Floatation therapy is designed to support deep relaxation by reducing external stimulation. No light, no noise, no pressure on the body. In this weightless environment, many people find their breathing slows, muscle tension softens, and the mind begins to switch off.

When the nervous system shifts out of “fight or flight” and into a calmer state, the body can access deeper rest. That’s why so many floaters report improved sleep quality, easier bedtimes, fewer night wakings, and waking up feeling more refreshed.

While floating isn’t a treatment for insomnia, it can be a powerful tool to help support:
💤 Deep relaxation
💤 Stress reduction
💤 Nervous system regulation
💤 Muscle recovery
💤 Mental clarity
💤 Better sleep routines

If you’re feeling wired but tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in restless nights, creating space for true rest during the day can make a difference at night 🌝

Floatation therapy supports pain relief by helping the body fully relax in a way most of us rarely experience. When you’re floating in body temperature, buoyant water, your muscles, joints and spine are completely supported, reducing pressure and physical tension 🧘🏼‍♀️

Chronic pain, muscle aches, back pain, neck tension, headaches and stress-related pain can be linked to a dysregulated nervous system. When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight, muscles stay tight and inflammation can increase.

Weightlessness allows the body to decompress, silence allows the mind to switch off and when the nervous system calms, pain can change.

If you experience muscle pain, stress-related tension, chronic tightness or physical burnout, floatation therapy may support your recovery naturally 💧
