Float House
70 W Cordova St. V6B 1C9 Vancouver, BC, Canada

Hello Float House Community, In order to better accommodate our Float Members, we've decided to make the very limited sauna and hot-cold contrast services ONLY available to monthly float members moving forward. If you are currently a sauna-only monthly member or a hot-cold only monthly member, you will be grandfathered in with your existing membership and can retain this for as long as you remain a member with us.... However, in the future, the only way to access hot-cold or sauna will be if you are a monthly float member. POLLING OUR COMMUNITY... On another related note, IF we were to attempt another crowd-funding campaign to flip one more room into a 2nd hot-cold contrast service, would YOU participate? The original campaign did well and had some incredible deals, which made this ambitious diversification possible. We've heard from some community members that they wish they had participated the first time... so we are curious if this carries significant sentiment with others?! PLEASE LET US KNOW... Would you help crowd-fund another hot-cold room? Please let us know with a Yes or No in the comments. Thank you and stay safe.

A lot is happening just under the surface during your Float session. The body will typically enter into the Relaxation Response (RR). RR, also known as Rest and Digest, is the opposite of the Stress Response or Fight-or-Flight response. The fight-or-flight response is triggered multiple times throughout the day due to a wide range of stressors, many of which are probably more situational than they are based on survival. As such, we may find ourselves in a prolonged... state of fight-or-flight, which overtaxes the nervous system and is potentially detrimental to our well-being. Chronic stress can lead to: - Frequent colds - High blood pressure - Stomach ulcers - Anxiety - And other health issues During the RR, the body moves toward a state of physiological relaxation, where blood pressure, heart rate, digestive functioning, and hormonal levels return to normal levels. #relaxtionresponse #fightorflight #stressrelief #stressmanagement #whywefloat

Quick and dirty - everyone needs a break from overstimulation. #overstimulation #sensoryoverload #stress #whywefloat Repost: @rejuve.nation.wellness Listen to Dr. Justin Feinstein from @laureate_institute make his prediction on how Floatation-REST will be used in the coming years. ...

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float - Alan Watts #whywefloat art by: @umantsiva music: Guru Om - Donna De Lory... . . . . . #lawofattraction #manifestation #trusttheuniverse #higherself #manifestingquotes #manifestationquotes #dailyaffirmations #manifestyourdreams #manifestationmagicquotes #manifest #highervibrations #manifesting #postivemindset #raiseyourvibration #manifestquote #affirmation #innerguidance #manifestqueen #lovefrequency #spiritualawakening #spirtualenlightenment

This year, we faced the destruction of everything we have worked for at Float House for seven years. Not only in the business, but facing enormous personal losses as well. We walked through the darkest time with massive uncertainty, as many other small businesses did and are still currently facing. But because of our community's support, we have been fortunate enough to stabilize Float House and will be able to continue our serve this great city for years to come!... The entire year was a massive test of our resolve, but what we learned is that we were strong enough to face it.

Repost @foundmyfitness I turned up my heat shock proteins! About 25 minutes at 189F in the sauna and I feel fantastic! People that used the sauna 2-3 times per week had a 20% lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. People that use the sauna 4-7 times per week had a 65% lower Alzheimer’s disease incidence. This is after correcting for other confounding factors like exercise, diabetes, lipid levels, education, blood pressure, socioeconomic status, heart disease, and more.... Heat shock proteins have been shown in many preclinical studies to prevent and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. No access to a sauna? Exercise can also increase heat shock proteins! So go get sweaty and flush in the face!
