The Experience
Experience an hour of calm and peace in a flotation tank. This relaxing therapy will help you escape the stresses of everyday life. Tensions will melt away and your mind and body will wind down into a natural calm.

The experience allows you to lie in a dark quiet room suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salts, about 10'' deep and so dense that you float effortlessly. Some gentle music will help you wind down as you gently slip into a near meditative state of relaxation. The type of flotation tank will vary from centre to centre.

Vital information
Some venues specify a minimum age of 16 or 18. Please advise of any skin conditions (salty water can sting!). If you're claustrophobic you will be in total control of your environment at all times. No need to be able to swim to take part.

Session length
Your float will last about one hour but allow half an hour afterwards to shower, get dressed and have some refreshments to prepare you for the outside world again.

Dress code

Fascinating Facts

The first flotation tank was developed in 1950 by Professor Dr John C Lilly while working at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. He became intrigued by whether the brain needed external stimuli to keep its conscious state going. He set out to devise a system that would restrict environmental stimulation as much as was practical and feasible. Lilly's first tank was one in which the floater was suspended upright. Over the years, Lilly continued his experiments and found that he could float in a more relaxing supine position if more buoyant salt were used. By the early 1970s, Lilly had perfected the flotation tank in much the design used today. The average tank contains a solution of water and 700lbs of medical grade Epsom salt. This solution is so dense that it allows you to float on top of the water effortlessly, just like a cork, and without gravity impacting your body. The water is set to your skin's temperature (about 94F) so that you cannot distinguish between yourself and the water. Fans believe it promotes total calm, eliminates fatigue, alleviates stress and promotes creativity. These have included Aldous Huxley, John Lennon, Robin Williams, Michael Jackson and Susan Sarandon.
