BEST FLOAT EXPERIENCE 2023
THE BENEFITS
Floating gives your body the ultimate chance to relax, reset and restore. By creating a weightless environment (think zero gravity), you are letting your body release tension and find its own optimal alignment. Our Float Room is light-proof and sound-proof that gives you stress-free down time and space to unwind, so whether you are a regular or one time floater, research shows that floating will benefit your health in both a proactive and reactive way.
The Floatation Room experience is truly "like nothing on earth", it is the most pure, natural state of awareness and profoundly deep relaxation.
Below are some of the benefits for the Body, the Mind & the Spirit.

THE FLOAT EXPERIENCE
Floatation; also known as Floating or R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environment Stimulus Therapy), Isolation tank and Sensory Deprivation, is a therapy whereby you float safely, comfortably and effortlessly in 10” of magnesium Epsom salts, within a spacious Float Room. The salts give the water its buoyancy, so your body can float with ease... Imagine no noise interference, social media or people distractions just complete peace from the outside world.

TESTIMONIAL
"Used the float room last night.... WOW... WOW...WOW...what an experience...the room itself is beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. The float was superb, it’s takes a little time to get used to the weightlessness and relax into it. But once you do it’s amazing. You have the option of light on or off and ceiling stars too..
I tried with lights off for a while... now that’s an experience.... feels like you are floating in space.... your senses really kick in.
I will defo be a regular floater, I am so happy that Urban Wellness have invested in an amazing self help experience for body and mind.. amazing people, amazing venue, I highly recommend folks to try this out. Great experience" 10/10 ☺️💕💕💕
