Sukhino Float Center and Salt Cave

Sukhino Float Center and Salt Cave Looking to relieve pain, reduce stress, overcome anxiety and depression, find deep breath? Our unexpected oasis in New Albany will help you feel your best!
(2)

Born out of a desire to bring peace of mind and relief in the body, Sukhino Float Center and Salt Cave is Southern Indiana's first float center AND first salt cave! We offer floatation therapy and halotherapy, both of which are centered around the therapeutic properties of salt, in its various forms. Float therapy involves stepping into our spacious float rooms and lying back into 10 inches of skin-temperature water that's mixed with over 1000 pounds of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate, MgSO4). You'll float effortlessly for up to 75 or 90 minutes, enjoying silence or music, colorful lights or pure darkness. Not only is floating great for relieving aches and pains in the body, it's a blissful break for your brain. To experience the benefits of halotherapy, we invite you to spend 45 minutes in our playful, peaceful salt cave. Breathe in the salty air while you rest in a treehouse cave environment like you've never seen. You'll gaze at the glowing Himalayan salt tile art wall, feel the texture of loose Himalayan salt on the floor, and breath deeply as the pharmaceutical grade salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) soothes your respiratory system. In Sanskrit, "Sukhino" means "centered in happiness and joy, free from suffering". We hope you'll join us to create that for yourself.

We are all in this together! Shop local and support your Southern Indiana community. For every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 of that stays within the community. Contrast that with shopping at a big box retailer where only about $43 of the $100 stays in the community.

Your dollars matter! Support your local businesses, especially this holiday season.

It dries up all that yucky stuff (phlegm, mucus, etc), reduces inflammation, and "scrubs" away the irritants. Deep, clear breaths for the win!

While sessions in our salt cave can help with your respiratory health, please do not schedule a session if you are contagious. But if you attend the salt cave regularly, it can help to boost your immune system!

: Meditation is a practice, just like learning a new skill or a new language. It takes time! So don't get discouraged if you don't feel "good" at it. Give yourself some grace.

Start by just becoming aware of your environment. Notice what you hear, see, feel, taste, and touch. Begin to notice your breath. Very slowly, practice observing your thoughts instead of interacting. Be gentle. You've got this!

While we didn't win, we are absolutely honored to be a finalist in the Meta Business of the Year award from One Southern Indiana Chamber & Economic Development, along side or fellow nominee finalist Board & You Custom Charcuterie. (Do you all remember that epic charcuterie grazing spread they created for our one-year anniversary 6 years ago?! We love them!) Congratulations to America Place At River Ridge, who won the category!

As a small, locally owned business, we're so grateful to be recognized for the work our team does in trying to make our community a better place - one guest at a time. This isn't about profits. Everyday, we give our all to helping individuals find relief because being a human is hard. We're here to create a little space for deep breaths, regulated nervous systems, and more ease.

We're not sure who nominated us, but thank you for believing in us enough to drop our name in the running. 💙🩵💚

Taking time for yourself is not selfish, but sometimes it feels that way. However, think about how you can set a powerful example for those you love. It would be a much better world if we all felt allowed to slow down, honor our own needs, and make space for peace and calm.

We're here to help you with that.

You. Are. Worthy.Deep breaths. Peace. Rest.

Hey beautiful people. Kim here. Today is our anniversary, and as much as I would have loved a big celebration, that just wasn't in the cards for us this year. It's been a challenging year, and it felt selfish to spend funds we don't really have on a big party... especially when so many folks in our community are struggling. And it felt selfish to ask you all to buy stuff from us, so we're looking for your help in a different way.

When we opened Sukhino 7 years ago, on November 8, Graham and I committed to giving back to the community in any way we could. And we recommitted to that when we opened the doors to Sukhino Express Wellness a year ago today. In fact, one of our core values is "Take Good Care", and we strive to do that for our guests, for our teammates, and for our community. So this year, we're asking you to help us celebrate in a way that feels really good for our hearts, and in a way that means so much more. Many folks are really struggling right now, between rising costs and losing access to assistance programs that don't have funding.

So we hope you'll join us in offering up what you can - even one item, when added with an item or two from someone else, can make a big difference. This month, we'd love your help in gathering supplies for one of our TWO donation drives in New Albany, and we'll enter your name in a drawing to win 2 service credits to the location where you donate goods.

Here's your of the day: Approach everything in your day with love. Just hear us out! Imagine that you really love sitting in traffic. Pretend like the leftovers you packed for lunch are your favorite. Practice thinking, "I choose to do this with love" as you tackle a dreaded task.

You might be surprised at how much this thinking can shift your perspective.

Did you know that today is Stress Awareness Day? Which is a little silly, because we're often very aware of our stressors every day, and not just today. But today, let's talk about some ways that we can help notice when we are stressed, and some things we can do to help feel better.

1️⃣ Practice Mindfulness: Take a moment to be truly, fully present. Things like deep breathing exercises, meditation (even for 5 minutes!), or a peaceful walk in nature can help you find a calm moment during your day.

2️⃣ Get Moving: Don't forget to move your body! Physical activity releases endorphins, which are the body's natural stress relievers. This could be anything: jumping jacks, a quick stretch or yoga session, or walking on a treadmill at the gym.

3️⃣ Unplug & Relax: These days, this one is SO important. Consciously step away from screens and the constant buzz of your inbox and notifications. Put your phone in another room, or somewhere where you won't see it. A digital detox can work wonders for your mental clarity and stress levels.

4️⃣ Prioritize Sleep: Honestly, a good night's rest is your body's reset button. When you get quality sleep, it helps to tackle problems with a fresh perspective.

5️⃣ Self-Care Rituals: Treat yourself like someone you love. Whether it's a cooking a delicious meal, writing in your journal, or coming to Sukhino for a float session or salt cave -- self-care is the most powerful stress buster.

On this Stress Awareness Day, remember that reducing everyday stress isn't just nice, it's imperative to your health and longevity. Try some of these strategies today to lead a happier, healthier, and more balanced life. Your mental health matters! 🌈💆‍♀️

Our Story

Some say we’re an odd couple. I (Kim) am a former leader in the corporate marketing and training world, yoga/meditation/mindfulness teacher, and Graham is a musician. I prefer the quiet world behind the scenes, and he loves the spotlight. I float to meditate and relieve anxiety, and he floats to relax the body. And we’re both honored and elated to bring this space to our community.

We never really dreamed of opening a business together, but the universe unfolded that path for us, and we joyfully accepted. (We actually met as co-workers at a restaurant that was known for it’s “sugar water” used to sweeten the tea, so it’s funny that we dedicate ourselves to a business that’s known for it’s salt water now!)

I heard about floating many years ago and became infatuated with it. At the time, we didn’t have any centers near us, but before I had even set foot in a float tank, I knew we would open a float center one day. I’d been teaching yoga and meditation for a few years, and I’d seen firsthand the transformation that occurs when people are provided the space to connect body, breath, and mind. Floating just seemed like a natural fit with my love for yoga and seeking release and relief from life’s stresses.

I grew up in a family where it’s a badge of honor to be overworked, exhausted, and often unfulfilled. I’ve watched almost every single family member battle chronic illnesses, disease, and injuries, and I knew I wanted to try something a bit different. I couldn’t escape that genetic work ethic, but I’ve channeled my hard work into serving others wherever I can. After learning about and seeing the sense of relief from those who have chronic pain, I was even more determined than ever to make the vision of providing float therapy a reality, but I let it simmer quietly in my head for about a year.
