Floating (50 min)

A 50-minute sensory deprivation float in a high-density Epsom salt tank at Studio Sante. The tank eliminates light, sound, and gravitational sensation, inducing deep physical and mental relaxation.

The float tank at Studio Sante holds approximately 25 centimetres of water saturated with several hundred kilograms of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), raising the density high enough that the body floats effortlessly on the surface without any muscular effort. The water is heated to skin temperature (approximately 35.5 degrees Celsius), so after a few minutes the boundary between body and water dissolves perceptually. The tank is fully enclosed, eliminating ambient light and external sound, creating an environment of near-total sensory deprivation. In this reduced-stimulation environment, the nervous system shifts measurably toward parasympathetic dominance. Research on flotation REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique) has documented reductions in cortisol, blood pressure, and heart rate during and after sessions. Participants consistently report deep mental quiet, reduced anxiety, and relief from chronic muscular tension — particularly in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, where gravity-related compression is temporarily eliminated. The 50-minute session length allows sufficient time for the transition from alert wakefulness into the deeply relaxed theta-wave state that flotation characteristically produces. Most first-time floaters spend the initial 10 to 15 minutes adjusting to the novel sensation before settling into progressively deeper relaxation during the remaining time. Experienced floaters often report that the subjective sense of time compresses significantly, with the 50 minutes feeling like 20. Floating is booked and priced separately from the sauna and pool entry. Guests who want to combine a float session with sauna access can purchase both, though the float alone at 150 PLN is a standalone experience that does not require additional sauna entry.
