The Ocean Lab

Hugely recommended for athletes and office workers alike that endure the discomfort of chronic muscle tension.

I’ll admit, I had this image in my head of float tanks being these big, dark, egg-shaped pods that might feel a little claustrophobic. But this setup was nothing like that. It was super calming and open, with a beautiful rain showerhead, soft ambient lighting inside the float tank, and even little stars glowing on the ceiling. It was unexpectedly magical.

As soon as I got in, I could feel my body start to let go. It was like a full-body exhale. For the first 30 minutes, I floated in complete darkness, which let me really drop into my senses. Then I turned the lights back on because I just couldn’t resist the gorgeous purple glow and the twinkling stars. It was so warm and cozy... like being hugged by water.

And the floating itself? Unreal. I've never been able to float this effortlessly in my life. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a little water bug skating across a still lake; this is it.

The float tanks are the nicest ones I've been in, and the big saunas are perfect for getting your sweat on before floating. I like that the larger one is set up with the benches in a circle, it gives it more of a community feel.

They've also taken out all the stops to make it a great experience. You get fresh tea when you come in, the towels are really soft, there's a cozy lounge area when you come out, and they've started organizing events like guided meditations.

Definitely my favorite float center I've been to, and quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to meet up with people.
