Looking for ways to remove even more of your senses when you float? How about the sense of taste? Next time you float, think about what tastes will be floating around in your mouth.

🐬 Float Fact Flashback! šŸŽ®
Did you know the trippy 90s video game Ecco the Dolphin was inspired by real research into dolphin consciousness and—you guessed it—float tanks?

Dr. John C. Lilly, the neuroscientist who invented the float tank, spent years exploring altered states of awareness through sensory deprivation and studying communication with dolphins. 🧠🌊

The game’s creator, Ed Annunziata, dove deep into Lilly’s work to create a world full of telepathic dolphins, aliens, and time travel. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it’s all rooted in the same curiosity that birthed float therapy.

While Ecco lets you explore otherworldly oceans, floating lets you explore the depths of your own mind—no joystick required.

Ready to dive in? Your inner dolphin is waiting. 🐬✨

🐾 This cat thinks it’s floating… but let’s be honest—no window hammock, no matter how plush, can replicate the weightless bliss of a real float.

Sure, we’ve all tried to recreate the feeling: bubble baths, soft beds, dangling in hammocks like furry royalty… but nothing compares to being fully supported, fully suspended, and fully surrendered in a float tank.

Sorry, kitty. You’re close—but humans still win this round. 😌

Come experience the real deal. Your nervous system will thank you.

✨Ever feel like you just want to float away from it all?
Yeah… we get it.
And while we can’t literally launch you into the sky, we can help you reach that level of weightless bliss.

šŸ› Step into a float tank.
šŸ’­ Let the stress melt.
🌌 Leave gravity — and your worries — behind.

Come float with us and feel like you're walking on clouds (or, ya know... floating through the stratosphere 😌).

That moment when you're one trash interaction away from snapping... 😤

šŸ—‘ Pre-Float: Angry, overstimulated, and ready to hiss at the next person who breathes wrong.
šŸ› Post-Float: Calm, radiant, and ready to forgive everyone—including yourself.

✨ Come float the rage away and reclaim your inner peace.

You're never too old to play makebelieve. Lay in the tanks under the star lights and pretend you're an astronut floating out in space!!

It all starts within. šŸ’›

When you choose to pause… to float in stillness or embrace the intensity of fire & ice… you’re choosing kindness for your nervous system, for your mind, for your body.

And that inner kindness? It ripples outward.
You leave calmer, clearer, and more connected — and every person you meet feels the shift.

Whether it’s a moment of deep relaxation in the float tank or the invigorating reset of contrast therapy, your self-care is not selfish — it’s a powerful act of kindness that touches the world.

🌊 Be the ripple.
šŸ”„ā„ļø Start the wave.

Float. Float float. Float float float. Float.

Whether you’re soaking in stillness, riding the root beer waves, or parading through your own mind like it’s the float-float-floatiest celebration of the year… we’ve got just the place for you. šŸŒŠšŸ„¤šŸŽ‰

Here, ā€œfloatingā€ isn’t just something you do — it’s something you become.

Step into the float tank and experience deep rest, nervous system calm, and imagination on parade. No calories, no crowds — just you, water, salt, and sweet, sweet stillness.

šŸŒ€ Come float with us. Your body and brain will thank you.

šŸ§˜ā€ā™‚ļøāœØ When life folds you in every direction… float it out.

This little paper soul knows what’s up — even the most intricately folded humans need to unfold somewhere.

In our float tanks, you can let go of the weight (and the creases) of the world. No pressure. No noise. Just you, your breath, and 1,000+ pounds of Epsom salt holding you perfectly still in warm, quiet bliss.

Origami you found this post? Take it as a sign. Your nervous system is ready for the float life. šŸŒ€

Tell that to your body when you step into a float tank and feel the slightest dip below perfect — your nervous system instantly becomes a Goldilocks-level temperature critic. šŸ˜†

Yes, when we mix in our super-salty Epsom magic, there’s a little endothermic drama — the water gets chilly for a moment. But don't worry — our tanks are set within 0.3° of ideal for that blissful "just-right" float.

Now, if you're actually looking for a ā€œwhoa, that’s cold!ā€ kind of experience — we’ve got you covered there too… just not in the float tank. ā„ļø

šŸ‘‰ Check out our Fire and Ice service with a cold plunge tank — the real deal for those who want to activate their inner warrior, boost recovery, and wake up every single cell.

šŸ’§Float in warmth. Plunge in cold. Either way, your nervous system will thank you.

Why we opened a float center

The American Dream isn’t what we’ve been taught. I found this after 20+ years in professional pursuit of the comforts and contentment that were promised by this dream. What I found instead was anxiety, depression, loneliness and an intuitive feeling that I was missing something. I found no relief from the material possessions I had accumulated and and I had a strong sense of fear that one day I would look back on my life and regret the decisions I made. So, I sold my soul sucking business and started giving away most of my material possessions. The freedom and pride I found from this socially unacceptable behavior was invigorating and I knew my new path was right for me.

Then... I found floating. Wow! Who knew what you could find inside yourself? It was like I had discovered a huge part of me that I didn’t know existed. I found balance. I also found my next adventurous pursuit. Opening a float center!

But, I needed help. Lots of help! The universe rewarded my courage when a long time friend offered to come on board to help manifest Roanoke’s first float center. Tabby related to my struggles, and with her love of floating, felt compelled to dive into the shallow waters of sensory deprivation.

And with that, Still Water Floatation was born. Please come join us and experience what floating has to offer.
