Now Offering Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna!
Rob has floated over 150 times with us since he started to floating back in 2014!
“The initial reason I was interested in floating was for pain relief. I had surgery in 2014 and I had a backslide in 2015 and I was experiencing a lot of pain. I did not want to go back down the road of a lot of prescription drugs to deal with it. I got the pain relief I was looking for from floating after several sessions but the thing I didn’t expect is the sense of calm that results from it. Floating put me into almost a meditative state very quickly.”
Why Float
Heal Your Body
Without the pressure of gravity, all the muscles can fully relax for the first time.
Calm Your Mind
Floating will free your mind to refresh and play in a dreamlike theta state.
Feed Your Soul
Without distraction, you’re free to explore your innermost thoughts and dreams.
What is Floating Like?
Step away from the outside world and into a calming float tank, where over a thousand pounds of Epsom salt has been dissolved in ten inches of water allowing you to float effortlessly on the surface.
As you float you will release all the tension throughout the body, relax sore muscles and soon the ability to perceive your body will dissipate in the warm water.
During your float you may listen to soothing music or float in silence. By eliminating the bombardment of external stimuli, floating transitions your mind to a more restful and peaceful state leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after your float.

OPTIMIZE YOUR FLOAT
Shaving
Avoid shaving the day of the float. After shaving, the skin may be sensitive causing distractions during the float due to the Epsom salt sting.
Washroom
Be sure to use the washroom prior to showering before you float. You do not want any distractions during your float.
Caffeine
Avoid caffeine before you float. The stimulation you experience from caffeine will inhibit your ability to relax and experience the full effect of floating.
Complimentary Activities
Performing physical activities such as yoga, cardio or strength straining before your float can greatly enhance the floating experience and help the body heal and repair itself. Combining activities can also allow you to enter a deeper state of relaxation during your float.
FAQ
Please contact us if you have further questions!
Do I need to bring anything?
No, we provide everything you need. Towels, robes, earplugs, body wash, shampoo, and blow dryers are all included. You may want to bring a brush or comb for after your float.
How is the water cleaned between each float?
Between each float session all the water inside the pod passes through a medical grade one micron filter 3.6 times and the 1200 lbs of Epsom salts in the water act as a natural disinfectant, inhibiting the growth of bacteria. We also use an advanced chemical free, 100% biodegradable disinfectant, which fully complies with all Alberta Health Standards and we require each floater to shower before getting in the pod to maintain the highest sanitation standards.
Is there anything I should do to prepare?
We recommend that you don’t drink coffee several hours before floating as it may inhibit your ability to relax. We also advise that do don’t shave or wax before floating since the salt water may irritate your skin. Other than that, there’s no specific preparation needed.
What do I wear in the tank?
Swimwear is not required while floating. You will have complete privacy as each room is accompanied with a shower and their own individual pod.
Does floating really work or is it a fad?
Floating is validated by science with over 200 published research articles on the benefits of floating.
Can I float if I'm pregnant?
Yes! Floating can relieve a lot of the aches and pains caused by pregnancy. If you have any hesitation or have any concerns, please consult with your physician before coming in.
Can I float if I'm menstruating?
Yes. Just follow the same protocol you would for a swimming pool.
What type of tanks do you have?
Our Kensington location at 3 Float Pods and Marda Loop has 1 Float Pods and 4 Large Deluxe Rooms.
Can more than one person float in a tank at a time?
Only one person can float in a tank at one time.
Do I have to stay in the tank the whole time?
You may leave the flotation tank at anytime during the float for any reason. There are no latches on the tank doors making exiting the tank quick and easy. However, we recommend that floaters stay for the full 90-minutes to experience the full affects. Many purport that 90-minutes goes by quite quickly.
Can I drown if I fall asleep in the tank?
Nope. You may fall asleep, but because of the buoyancy of the water you stay afloat eliminating any possibility of drowning.
I have a previous ear condition should I float?
First ask your doctor to make sure its okay for your ears to be emerged in 11 inches of Epsom salt water. During your float your ears are submerged but you are also provided with silicone ear plug that, if used properly, will prevent any water or salt from getting into your ears. If you do get salt in your ears you can use a vinigar water solution to rinse out the salt.
