Floating in Outer Space? Kinda. Here’s What a Float Pod Can Actually Do for You

You have likely heard of a sensory deprivation float tank by now.. or, 'float pod.'

But, what is the hype behind it? Why do people add it to their bucketlist, just like they would do with skydiving?

Sensory Deprivation Float tanks (float pods) have grown in popularity in the last few years. And, they are a very unique experience hence why people want to try them out.

Some float pod enthusiasts have said that floating is like, "the closest thing to feeling like you are floating in outer space."

So... OF COURSE most people want to experience something so unique as that!

So what ARE the benefits of the float pod? Here's why you might consider floating regularly, beyond the first sensations of deep relaxation and "floating in outer space," though, yes- that's a cool perk to enjoy.

So, why float?

Beyond the “cool experience” or the curiosity of trying something new, floating has been shown to actually benefit your body, mind, and nervous system. From pain relief to mental clarity, better sleep, and even creative insight—this one hour in a quiet, zero-gravity environment can do more than you think.

You don’t have to be a pro athlete or a yogi to benefit from it either. Floating is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just plain worn out. (Sound familiar?)

One of the most interesting things about floating is how it affects your brainwaves. The brain naturally shifts into a theta state—the same state linked to deep meditation, daydreaming, and creativity. This state is where your mind slows down, ideas surface, and stress begins to melt away. For people who struggle to relax or shut their brains off, this can feel like a total game-changer.

Floating also gives your nervous system a break. When you're in a dark, quiet, weightless environment, your body isn’t constantly processing noise, gravity, or light. That means your brain can redirect its energy toward healing, recovery, and deep rest—something that’s hard to access in our always-on, always-scrolling world.

And while it does feel a little like outer space, what you’ll really notice is how grounded and recharged you feel afterward.

Curious to try it?

Whether you're looking to relax, recover, or reset—we’d love to have you in the pod. ✨ Book a float session and see what the hype is about. Your nervous system will thank you.
