Nirvana Float

is a safe space where you can get away and recharge your mind and body. A float is 60 or 90-minutes of total silence in a gravity-free environment…no stress, no noise, no interruptions. Floating is supported by science and has immediate and long-lasting benefits. Nirvana Float spa has been meticulously engineered to deliver results through a premium float experience.

The float pod is a large, enclosed, salt water bath that minimizes sensory input to the brain. The water is the same temperature as your body, so you will eventually not be able to tell where your body ends and the water begins.

With the lights off and soundproofed walls, the float pod gives your body, mind, and soul an environment to heal and rejuvenate, unlike any other experience you’ve had. No phones, no internet, no television, no noise, just an hour or 90 minutes of… nothing.

This meditative experience has been shown to facilitate powerful healing, deep relaxation, pain relief, self-improvement, and numerous other benefits listed below under Floating Benefits.

Why Float ?

Floating benefits

Scientific studies on floating confirm it helps balance your chemistry, neurology, and physiology. Floating safely replenishes your levels of magnesium, which regulates the absorption of other minerals and over 300 biochemical reactions in the body through its role as an enzyme co-factor. Stress depletes what little magnesium we get through our diet, literally leading to a feedback loop of further stress.

RELAXATION

RELAXATION

The magnesium helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. The mind can slip into a meditative brain wave state of Theta and Delta (between waking and sleep), typically without losing consciousness. It is a deep, pleasurable release into a safe, comfortable place.

stress

STRESS

As an antidote to personal and societal demands, multi-tasking and over-stimulation of the senses, floating can help you effectively and quickly let go of stress. Stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. When dissolved in warm water, Epsom salt is absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body.

meditation

MEDITATION

Many skilled meditators proclaim floating to be the “fast track” to meditation. Within as little as 10 minutes, floating can induce a deep meditative state. Floating can be passive or active, depending on the purpose.

PAIN

The uniquely supportive float environment may serve to release pain induced protective “body armor,” induce feel good endorphin’s and re-establish homeostasis.

homeostasis

HOMEOSTASIS

Floating triggers a “reset” for the body and mind’s homeostasis– so in whatever way you may be out of balance – structural, neuro-chemical, metabolic, floating helps you to come back toward your particular baseline center. Although there are no guarantees, floating may be an important element in your unique healing process.

dreaming

LUCID DREAMING

Floating will give you a shortcut to lucid dreaming. And many clients remark how much more vivid their dreams are after a session in a flotation tank.

medical-condition

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

There are studies and indications that floating helps specific conditions such as hypertension, fibromyalgia, neurological and endocrine disorders, structural imbalance, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression.

solitude

SOLITUDE

Many people utilize the float tank as a time for prayer and reflection. For some, it is the only time they get to be by themselves and really let go of fears and distraction.

athletics

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

Floating can be of great benefit in athletic training. By promoting optimal utilization of resources to support focus, as well as physical and mental recovery, it effectively allows the body to regain a state of homeostasis.

toxins

TOXINS

By soaking in our tanks, the salt helps flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.

healing

HEALING

Floating is a perfect complement to any treatment, traditional and alternative, accelerating and amplifying the healing process; Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually. Floating has the possibility to capitalize on the body’s utilization of resources for detoxification and restoration.

Why Halotherapy ?

Halotherapy Benefits

Nirvana Float is excited to offer Halotherapy Salt Booth Sessions. Those suffering from seasonal allergies, colds, asthma or numerous skin conditions finally have relief naturally without the use of medication. In a short session the Halo-Salt booth will clear your sinuses and provide upper respiratory detox allowing you to breathe and sleep better in addition to helping you skin.
 
RELAXATION

Respiratory Benefits

Scientific research has found that inhaled dry salt particles have bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic, and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the entire respiratory tract and widen the airway passages.

healing

SKINCARE BENEFITS

Quality and aesthetic appearance of the skin has an important aspect of how we are viewed by others and can have a profound psycho-emotional impact on how we feel about ourselves. As we age, our skin is the first organ to show the impact of time and life. Dry salt therapy is an excellent solution to improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin. Regular Halotherapy can be the most important tool that aids the healthy aging process of the skin.

Why Sauna & Cold Plunge ?

Sauna & Cold Plunge Benefits

Fire & Ice Therapy helps with Immune System Health, Cardiovascular Health and helps to improve Endurance. It also helps decrease Stress, Inflammation and Recovery Times for athletes.
RELAXATION

Improved Blood Flow

It enhances the flow of blood in the body. The body cells receive ample blood supply, and that is the reason for the fast heartbeat. When you take the cold plunge, your body will feel rejuvenated, and the body systems are jerked into activity.

stress

Detoxifying power

The sudden cold plunge after a sauna experience triggers the lymphatic system in the body. It allows for all toxins and body waste to be flushed out of the body hence eliminating any infection-causing organisms lodged in the body. The detoxification lasts for long and enhances your immunity.

RELAXATION

Sores and strains quick recovery

Sauna heat usually decreases soreness and muscle aches in the body. The heat inside the sauna helps in joint ailments since one can comfortably stretch out after feeling cool from it. Muscles become tender during the sauna session, and the plunge in the cold water firms them back in place. Any tears to the muscles heal faster that way.

stress

Rejuvenates Skin

During the sauna session, your skin pores will open up to allow for harmful toxins and fat deposits to be flushed out of the body through sweat. If you follow that up with a cold plunge, the pores will seal back instantly and the glow that comes to your skin is simply beautiful, not forgetting it will lock out any germs and dirt from entering the skin again.

Get prepared to float

What to expect

Floating with us is a breeze. Upon arrival you will check in and be shown to your private room where you will shower and float. We ask that you shower before you enter the float tank. After showering, enter the tank completely nude, close the pod and relax. That’s it!

 

As your float comes to an end, calming music will begin to play letting you know that your session is over. When you exit the tank, we advise showering again to remove the salt from your skin and you will be on your way back into the world renewed.

SHAVING

For men, avoid shaving your face at least 6 hours before you float. For women, avoid shaving your body at least 12 hours before your float. Any lesions will be distracting due to the Epsom salt sting.

EATING

A super full stomach is not great for floating, nor is an empty of stomach. Having a light, easily digestible meal 1.5 to 2 hours pre-float is probably ideal.

COUPLING ACTIVITIES

We have found performing physical activity (yoga, cardio, or resistance training) before you float could greatly enhance the floating experience. Your body has expended pent-up energy, muscles and tissues are loose and flowing with blood, your mind is clear and calm. Combining floating to this state can potentially create a deeper state of meditation.

POSITIONS

The most important thing is to get comfortable. There are only two real positions in the tank: With your arms at your side, or arms over-head. Try to position your body in the middle of the tank to avoid “ping-ponging” from side to side. Once you like your position and feel comfortable try to remain still and consciously relax all of your muscles.

RESTROOM

Be sure to use the restroom prior to showering and before you enter the float tank.

SMOKING

Smoking just prior to your float may stimulate you too much. Even if you are craving a cigarette the tank may very well suppress your craving. However, you’ll need to figure out what the best formula is for you and your biochemistry.

CAFFEINE

Definitely avoid having caffeine before you float. The stimulation you experience from caffeine is the exact opposite way you’ll want to be when you are in the tank. By the end of your float you most likely will not feel like you need your fix.

BREATHING

Your breath can be an amazing tool for calming the mind and relaxing the body. Try to breathe primarily from your nose. At first, you can consciously take deep breaths, but once you settle into your experience try less to manipulate the breath and more just observing the breath. Your body will always remember to breath, there is no need to control your breath.

LET GO

Don’t "try" to do anything in the tank, don’t force something to happen, don’t expect something to happen; this is the exact opposite direction from where you may want to go while in the tank. You will not fall asleep necessarily, just be present. Repetition of a focus word such as “peace”, “relax”, or “let go” spoken in your mind in unison with your exhalation can help at first, but the message here is to just let go of conscious control.

SENSITIVITY

With external stimuli at a minimum, your nervous system will turn up the volume to try and sense anything. Since there is still “nothing” coming in, this is a great opportunity to simply sense whatever is left to be felt within your internal body. Feel your arms, legs, torso, head, as intensely as possible. Observe your thoughts, emotions and sensations.

    4 star review  If you go there to use their float tanks, you can use it in one of two ways. Once inside the capsule, you can turn on a light and/or play soothing music if you are desiring a meditative and relaxing experience to destress your mind and body... However, I like to go there for a sensory deprivation experience so that I can purposely and actively think about everything and anything in my life without any sensory distractions. The first time I went was for 90 minutes and I loved it! The other day, however, was my second time going there, and for some reason, just a short while into my session, a computerized voice was welcoming someone to the experience, followed by music! I could hear it clearly even through my plugged ears, and I was a little annoyed that perhaps someone near my room had started their session and it was so loud I could hear it through my ear plugs. 🙄 It was very distracting and annoying but I tried my best to ignore it... It was only after a VERY LONG while when it occurred to me that maybe it was coming from inside my own capsule! (even though I am certain that I didn't start the music myself). So I reached down and tried hitting the button and to my surprise - the music shut off!!! I was now really annoyed because I only discovered this towards the end of my 60 minute session and I had spent the majority of it listening to music I didn't want to hear. 😒 Anyway, I am just sharing this to let you all know that if this happens to you, you can just try to turn off the music yourself. I think they should have warned me of this beforehand but they didn't, so I'm sharing it with you now. Otherwise, I think it's a great experience that everyone should try at least once. It's wonderfully relaxing, that is, if you're not worrying about how to turn off some random music. 😝 My boyfriend even loved it and fyi, he's a very large 6'5" guy and still felt comfortable inside the float tank (in case anyone is wondering if you might fit inside 😉). And if you have any questions, the staff is very friendly and helpful and will be happy to call you back if you leave your number with a message.

    5 star review  This float is a tremendous, rare experience that everyone must try at least once -- and I was impressed that the membership package is a very reasonable way to enjoy sustained benefits. I did the Halo salt therapy and then a 60 minute float. The owner Lovinder and my host, Jonathan, are so dedicated to this therapy and made me feel right at home. The shower and massage chairs are wonderful and add to the experience. Jonathan mentioned that often clients will "fall asleep" in the float, but it's really more than that. It is profound to feel your body completely weightless and my mind went into a meditative state that was quite extraordinary. I felt this relaxation into the evening and the next day. I can't recommend this enough, I have referred many friends to Nirvana Float!

    4 star review  Overall a wonderful relaxing experience. A few things could use some improvement but, generally, it was a great 1st time. I enjoyed the float, but the smell did bother me a bit. Not sure if it was from the chemicals used to clean the pod but some aromatherapy would have helped. The massage chairs in the relaxation room are absolutely amazing! Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and was more than happy to answer any questions I had. I didn't feel rushed through the process. The lobby area could use a little sprucing up. It's clean and comfortable, however, some bottles of water and/or healthy packaged snacks would go a long way. The sandals in the float room should also be replaced with disposable ones.

The massage chairs at the end were the perfect end to a relaxing experience. We’ll for sure be back!

    5 star review  This place is just cool. It's so different. It was not what I expected. So you get a private room that kind of looks like a big bathroom with a shower on one side. You have to shower before and after but they provide what you need...towel, bathrobe, sandals.... so bring your own if you don't want to use theirs. The only other thing in the room is the pod. It looks like a spaceship. Its a big white pod and after you shower you get in and float. They provide this circle thing that I use for my head rest. You can leave the pod open if you want... I do. Its drafty but I can't close it. I'm too scared lol! idk why..hopefully I can work up to it. But even open its still very enjoyable.. the water is warm. there are buttons in the pod to control the music and light. you can have them on or off. I choose to have both on. Again, kudos to those who can have them off... and have the POD closed. fearless. Its a surreal experience but very very cool. I try and meditate and just be. they also have a room afterwards if you want to blowdry your hair, and they also have a massage room where you can sit in these awesome massage chairs for while before you leave. the people who work here are some of the nicest people Ive ever met. its clearly important to the owners to have nice people working here. Its such a cool experience.

    5 star review  I just got home from my second float and I am still SO impressed. I am always hesitant to post a review from an initial visit - want to make sure it isn't that first time thrill clouding my judgment. Everything was just as wonderful as the first time at Nirvana. Super clean premises, fully stocked with all the supplies you need to have a great experience. The staff explained everything in detail both times and you can tell they take pride in helping people feel their best. If you have any stress at all (who doesn't these days?), you need a float at Nirvana.

    5 star review  Nirvana Float was recommended to me by a fellow mediator and they said I would love it. The recommendation was spot on. I find that Nirvana Float gives me the opportunity to commit to my mindful practice in a way that you just have to try to understand. I feel like I get the benefits of a full day retreat in one hour. The people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and relaxing. Worth checking out!
