I did some floor yoga moves, put my feet flat with knees up and swooshed around, catapulted myself from side to side, and swished in circles. Photo a while I got bored floating so I started flinging myself from side to side like a cosmic boomerang. I couldn’t tell if my eyes were open or closed or if I was moving or still. In total darkness, hearing nothing, seeing nothing, you get the immediate strange sensation that you’re in utero or floating in space not in a Float Spa & Salt Cave. I chose darkness – to get the full sensory deprivation experience. You can pick a colored light for the water or choose to immerse yourself in total darkness. The light in the room goes off and it’s just you and the tank. To prepare for your float you stick in the provided ear plugs, shower off, and enter the tank. Inside the tank is a foam neck support (if needed), the light control, and an emergency call button (just in case). The tub is filled with 10″ of water and saturated with 1200 pounds of USP Grade Epsom salt. Unlike other float spas the tank isn’t a pod but a full tub with enough space to stretch out your arms and legs. Each floatation therapy room has a shower (including toiletries), a fluffy towel, the softest robe I’ve ever felt, and a private tank. Set on a timer, my 90 minute sensory deprivation float tank session was about to begin so I had to stop snooping and go to my room. It was stunning – with salt brick walls (complete with salt grout) and beautiful salt stalactites covering the ceiling. I’ve seen salt caves before but never one like this one. While I didn’t have time during this visit to enjoy the 45 minute salt cave session (providing the same benefits of 3-5 days at the beach!) I had to take a peek. As my tour continued, the soothing effect carried throughout with the Kombucha tap, the beautiful salt cave (halotherapy), the post-salt lounge, and the four floatation therapy rooms. The colors, patterns, and textures all had a calming effect. I didn’t understand – it was the Dead Sea but in a little tank on Long Island? Say what? I needed to test this out immediately.Īs I entered Floatopia and looked around I instantly felt at ease. Enter Floatopia – a newly opened Float Spa & Salt Cave located in Dix Hills, NY. Naturally my next “trending” experience should be at a Float Spa & Salt Cave – floating in a salt tank. I’ve jumped out of a plane and done yoga with a goat.
