Infrared Sauna

Unlike a traditional sauna that heats the air surrounding you, infrared technology heats your body directly. Not only is this more energy efficient, it may also help you breathe easier as the air is dry. This in turn means you can experience a longer and arguably more comfortable session.
​
The supposed benefits of using an infrared sauna are similar to those of a traditional sauna. These include:
-
better sleep
-
relaxation
-
detoxification
-
weight loss
-
relief from sore muscles
-
relief from joint pain such as arthritis
-
clear and tighter skin
-
improved circulation
-
relief from chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms
.
Some research has also shown that using an infrared sauna may be beneficial for cardiovascular health and muscle recovery after a workout.

Float Tank

Floating involves resting (FLOATING!) on your back in a pitch-black tank filled with salty, skin-temperature water (34 – 35 degrees Celsius), wearing earplugs and nothing else, or swimmers if you prefer. There is no light, no smell, no touch and no sound besides soft music at the beginning and the end of the float. The water is saturated with 350 kilograms of Epsom salt, making it so dense and buoyant, that you will float no matter what you weigh.
​
Inside the tank, you will float effortlessly on the water surface with your ears submerged below the water. All parts of your body will feel supported however, there are foam halos and noodles should you need support under your neck. Once you’re comfortable in the tank, you can let go of any tension in your body and experience zero gravity – floating weightless and free.
