Floating therapy is simply floating on water in special chambers containing large amounts of Epsom salts. This provides buoyancy and supports the body to achieve the deepest known form of relaxation.
We also offer longer floating therapies - 2h, 3h.
Please contact us for the price of floating.
Open daily from 10:00 to 22:00.
Physical floating helps relieve muscle pain, relaxes the nervous system, prevents hardening of the arteries, draws toxins and heavy metals out of the body and reduces internal and external inflammation.
Floating can help you to leave the awareness of your body and slowly move into a calming meditative state, which becomes the perfect gateway to a deeper spiritual experience.
By relieving stress and allowing your mind to focus inwards, you can gain the strength to overcome addictions, anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses.
At Float Centre Ljubljana, we want to provide an unforgettable relaxation experience. Allow your body, mind and spirit to be overwhelmed by a feeling of complete weightlessness. Our state-of-the-art float chambers are designed to allow you to let go of everyday stress and simply relax. Book your first floating experience today and feel what it's like to float in space.
The high concentration of Epsom salts dissolved in the water also acts as a natural disinfectant, creating a sterile environment in which bacteria simply cannot survive (just like in the Dead Sea).
In addition, our advanced filtration system combined with chamber cleaning after each use ensures 100% clean water for our visitors. At the end of each use, water is pumped from the chambers into the tanks through filters. The inside of the chambers are then thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the next use. The water is passed through all the filters 2-3 more times before it flows back into the chamber, where it is ready to be used again.
Falling asleep while floating is actually quite nice. It's usually the case that every float is a little different - it all depends on how you're feeling at the time. The water is warm, it's dark and pleasant. If you arrive at a floating session tired, you may well find yourself dozing off for a while. No fear - sleep like this is very restorative and peaceful. Usually the body wakes up on its own after about 10-20min (the length of a "power nap"). You usually wake up quite calm and beautiful. However, if you "twitch" in your sleep, you may wake up jolting and get some salt water on your face, which is a bit unpleasant. It is washed off with a spray of clean water, which is placed inside the float chamber for this very purpose.
In the extreme case, you will wake up at the end of the session. First there's 5min of calm music that brings you nicely into the here and now, then a voice announces that the session is over, and then the system starts pumping water back into the tanks.
Floating therapy and floating chambers have been around for more than 50 years. There is a wealth of scientific research that has been published to date, confirming the positive effects of floating. Books describing the positive effects include "The Book of Floating" by Michael Hutchison and "Tanks For The Memories" and "The Deep Self" by John C. Lilly, a pioneer of floating, psychoanalyst and expert in experimental neuropsychology, who developed the first floating chamber in 1950.
The whole environment in the flotation room, where the chamber is located, is designed to give you constant control over what's going on. If you feel uncomfortable, you can lift the lid of the chamber, turn on the lights inside the chamber, or even get out. The latter is very rare, as floating on water reduces claustrophobia and can eliminate fear of confined spaces.
At Float Centre Ljubljana, we have towels, slippers, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, hair dryer, make-up remover, earplugs, basic cosmetics (face cream and deodorant) and Vaseline in case of abrasions or scratches.
You can bring any other cosmetics you wish to use after the floatation therapy, if necessary.
