Float Tank Session (60min)

A 60-minute sensory deprivation session in a FloatEgg pod — one of the largest enclosed floating pods on the market — filled with a 25% Epsom salt solution at body temperature for effortless buoyancy and deep relaxation.

Flotation therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique), involves floating effortlessly in a shallow pool of water saturated with approximately 500kg of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) heated to skin temperature (36°C). At this concentration (25%), the water's density exceeds that of the Dead Sea, providing complete buoyancy without any effort from the floater. The body is fully supported, eliminating all gravitational pressure on joints, muscles, and the spine. The FloatEgg pod at tranxx measures 2.40m x 1.70m x 1.15m, making it one of the largest enclosed floating pods commercially available. This generous size means that even tall individuals can float without touching the sides — a common complaint with smaller float tanks that can break the sense of boundlessness essential to the experience. The pod can be closed for complete darkness and silence (full sensory deprivation) or left partially open with optional underwater music and soft lighting, allowing each floater to control their comfort level. The physiological effects of floating are well-documented in research literature. The elimination of gravity reduces cortisol levels and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, producing a deep relaxation response. Heart rate and blood pressure decrease. The brain shifts from beta-wave activity (alert, analytical thinking) toward theta waves — the state normally experienced only briefly during the transition between wakefulness and sleep, associated with deep meditation, creativity, and insight. Many floaters report vivid imagery, creative breakthroughs, and a profound sense of mental clarity. The high magnesium concentration provides additional therapeutic benefit through transdermal absorption. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is chronically deficient in modern diets. Transdermal magnesium absorption during a float session supports muscle relaxation, reduces cramping, improves sleep quality, and may help with anxiety and stress-related conditions. Regular floaters often report cumulative improvements in chronic pain, insomnia, and stress management over a series of sessions.
