Time To Float

Stop doubting yourself, and notice what you are noticing.

As part of our series of posts, noticing these small indicators shows you're heading where you need to be...

So if our posts keep showing up in your feed, then maybe now is the time to try floatation therapy?

𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Yes, it is exhilarating, and you will leave feeling amazing!

Here's a couple of tips to remember before you try it for the first time:

1/ 𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗯𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱.

A lot colder than turning your shower to cold at the end of your morning shower.
The key is to 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Long deep breaths to get oxygen to the brain are the key.

2/ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗲.

Get fully immersed, as soon as possible.
Have you ever noticed how you feel so many different levels of cold when you gently lower yourself into a swimming pool on holiday? The easiest way for your body to acclimatise quicker is to get yourself fully immersed.

We are happy to talk to you, to give you a distraction during the important...

4/ 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝟲𝟬 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀

Without a doubt, the most challenging part of your session.
Your instinct after the cold hits your brain is to do lots of small, shallow breaths - this just makes the session harder to conquer. Your desire for the shorter breaths will reduce as you start to control your breathing, and your body realises that the cold is something you actually want right now.

Now enjoy the rest of your session - the exhilaration you will feel as you get out at the end is amazing! A nice warm shower and your body and mind is ready to take on whatever the world trhows at you...

What if, for one hour, your back didn't have to carry you?

Standing.
Walking.
Getting comfortable.
Even sleeping.

For most of the day, your spine, joints, and muscles are carrying the weight of your body against gravity.

Floating changes that.

The high concentration of Epsom salts in our float pools allows you to float effortlessly on the surface of the water, creating a sensation of near-weightlessness.

Many people describe it as the first time their back has truly been able to relax in years.

No pressure points.
No compression.
No need to hold yourself up.

Just an hour where gravity takes a back seat.

If back pain has been weighing you down, perhaps it's time to feel weightless.

Pain management
Stress relief.
Reduce PTSD.

Know that there are natural and holistic ways to reduce stress and anxiety.

It starts with action though.

An infrared sauna isn't about escaping the heatwave.

Your body is already working hard to deal with this heat - it's about giving your body a controlled environment where it can do what it's designed to do – sweat, cool and adapt.

That's why regular sauna users often report feeling more comfortable in hot weather.

The weather is stressing your body anyway. You can either fight it with a desk fan - Or train for it....

"I'm so stressed"...

We've all said it, but did you know all the different ways that stress affects the body and mind?

Below are just some of the ways - STRESS IS DESTRUCTIVE.

The good news? Floating has been proven to reduce stress, even after just one session.

We are open 7 days a week to lower your stress levels at the lovely Mind Body Labb, but if you want to talk about it before you take the plunge (😆) then leave a message in the 'comments' below, or send us a private message...

Want to feel like you are getting good value?
Us too! Let's highlight the benefit we give you FREE OF CHARGE with every sauna session!!

Red Light Therapy - exposing the skin to Red and near-infrared light - is the current hot topic when it comes to Holistic health.
The important thing to note: Red light therapy doesn't burn or damage tissue like UV light (traditionally from the Sun) does. Research suggests that it interacts with your Mitochondria (the engine of the body) to boost your ATP levels (the energy that every cell runs from).

And you thought Saunas were just good for sweating & weight loss!! 😀

With sessions available 7 days a week, why not give your body the 'service' it really craves....

What's the big deal with ice baths? Will i benefit from it?

Take a look at the word cloud to see the different ways your body and mind:
accelerate muscle recovery,
reduce inflammation,
trigger the release of mood-boosting neurotransmitters,
improve cardiovascular circulation.

We're not going to promise that it's fun to do (for some it's the exact opposite!) but what it will do for you is make you feel good, inside and out...

With sessions available 7 days a week, make your self care your No1 priority this weekend.

You've heard about it right? (You must have - you're looking at this post!)

But what can it do for you?
A good question, and this post highlights just SOME of the benefits of adding Floatation therapy into your self care routine...

this weeks is one of our favourite quotes from last year.

Working out what you do and don't need will improve your life immeasurably.
But where can you find the space & time to work on this?

Simple answer is in a floatation pod.

When you have no distractions, your mind has the space to open up - or as we often say, "where the magic happens"...

If you want to move your life forward, what's stopping you from trying floating today?
