Couples Float and Sauna Recharge Experience

A link to your Wellness and Connection Date will be sent to you via email the day before your City Cave sauna and float experience.

Float therapy is beneficial for meditation and mindfulness, as well as for the following reasons: Stress reduction, Pain relief, Improving sleep quality (one hour of float therapy is equal to 4-8 hours of sleep), Pain relief (Epsom salts are high in magnesium, which acts as a natural muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory, reducing pain symptoms).

While floating, tension and stress in your mind and body are released, allowing you to let go and feel nothing but relaxation as you get some well-deserved rest.

Decreases Stress & Anxiety / Improves Mood: Floating reduces stress by regulating cortisol with magnesium and promotes relaxation through sensory deprivation, leading to a release of feel-good hormones.

Pain Management & Reduced Inflammation: Float therapy alleviates muscle pain and inflammation, aiding recovery from injuries and conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Improves Sleep Quality / Decreases Chronic Fatigue: Float therapy enhances sleep by inducing theta brainwaves, with one hour in the float equating to several hours of deep sleep.

Boosts Creativity & Mindfulness: Floating fosters mindfulness, enhances brain connectivity, and boosts creativity by promoting deep focus and relaxation.

Detoxification: Infrared saunas stimulate sweat glands and blood circulation, helping to remove toxins like heavy metals, alcohol, and nicotine from the body.

Heart Health: Infrared saunas are linked to improved blood pressure, reduced cholesterol, and better heart function in cardiovascular disease patients.

Mood: Infrared saunas promote endorphin release and a parasympathetic state, enhancing mood and energy levels.

Pain Relief: Regular use of infrared saunas alleviates muscle and joint pain, promotes faster recovery, and increases flexibility.

Your birthday suit! Wearing swimwear can take away from the experience by causing sensory input when it touches your skin. You can be hyper-aware in the float pool, so straps or elastics will distract from your float. The tank rooms are private.

A couples float is when two people (generally a couple) float in the same room together. You are welcome to float with anyone you wish to, but as above, you generally will be nude when doing so.

You should not float or sauna if:

• You are pregnant. (Although floating is fine for women up to 36+ weeks pregnant, sauna is not recommended
• You are menstruating, due to hygiene reasons
• You have used supermarket hair dye or had a spray tan within one week of your appointment
• You have an ear infection or skin injury
• You have low blood pressure
• You are wearing jewellery
• You have Gastroenteritis or stomach flu
• You have had laser treatment in the last two weeks
• You are under 18

City Cave has a very extensive hygiene process. Although your appointment is only 60 minutes, they allow 90 minutes for each session to clean and re-dress the rooms between appointments, as well as filter the pools. The filters are designed for 10,000 liters of water, but the pools only contain 1000 liters. Each pool also has 400Kg (approx) of salt in them, so no bacteria can cultivate in this environment. They require everyone to shower before and after their session to aid in hygiene.

No, even if you do fall asleep, you will be kept afloat thanks to the density of the water. You might get some water in your eyes, but that’s it.

You don’t want to be starving, or too full, when you have your session, as your stomach’s noises will distract from the experience. A light meal two or so hours before your session is fine, just be sure not to drink anything but water - no energy drinks, alcohol or caffeine.

No, and you will find that your skin feels smoother after your session - you don’t experience pruning as you would in a regular bath for the same period. Absorbing a large amount of magnesium, thanks to the Epsom salts in the water, is fantastic for your body!
