For the times when you wish you were floating

During our stay home orders earlier this year one of the challenges many of us faced was the limits placed on our usual ‘go to’ remedies to help us feel great about ourselves and life in general. Float therapy was out for three months. Many customers shared that floating was what they relied on to return to centre, manage pain, and process daily life with grace. Even though some had other practices to lean on, like meditation, floating was sorely missed.

I discovered during this time I could recreate so many of the benefits of floating through a traditional practice of Yoga Nidra, or sleeping with awareness. Rooted in a vast body of knowledge and ancient tradition, on the most basic level, it is a comprehensive method for maximizing health and well being. On a deeper level, it is also a profoundly spiritual practice. Somewhere in between, it is one of the most accessible ways to positively reshape the unconscious. It’s like floating without the salt!

Join us as we journey down this ancient path together. Weaving relaxation, empowerment, healing and learning to access a new way of being… calm, grounded, human, in or out of the float room.
