TAO Float Loft

Such a great experience! Perhaps the most relaxing thing I’ve ever done apart from the first night home after a really long tiring trip. You know what I mean. Anyways, the workers are very friendly and answered my questions. They even provided complimentary tea while we waited and the air was lightly scented with incense and the salty smell of the tanks.
So, I highly recommend you read the instructions on their website and prepare your body for this experience. (Don’t shave if possible, eat a small meal before, avoid caffeine, etc).
I floated in the Float Room and not one of the pods.
Honestly it makes no difference what you float in as the room is completely dark and the float experience should be the same. That being said, if you have limited mobility or are really tall, this room might be the best choice. Give them a call to confirm so you have the best experience.
It was of course weird to get into a body of water and not sink. The salt water is in such high concentration that your body simply floats half submerged and it did take some time to adjust to this feeling. I re-​positioned myself a few times and even used my hands behind my head at times. Do whatever feels comfortable. I ended up falling asleep it was that relaxing. And lastly, make sure that your earplugs completely seal in your ear. I had a little bit of water enter my ear and it took a few days for the water to clear.
I wish this place was closer to Cincinnati and hope that they expand to other locations. They have memberships and this would make a perfect gift for anyone that experiences stress (that pretty much covers everyone right?). Treat yourself to this amazing experience!

Tao Float Loft is an incredible experience. My husband and I came in and we both tried the 60 minute sessions.
I love to float in the pool. Not with a blow up raft or some other device that would keep one on top of the water. I mean, me and the water, and that’s it. Dead man’s float style. This place is better than a swimming pool.
Tao offers two float pods and one float room, along with an infrared sauna. Once shown to your room, you shower before you start your float and again after. Float with the lights off for the full meditative affect. If you need fix your hair and makeup before leaving, they have a «hair and makeup room». The staff is very nice and knowledgeable.
Stressed or not, I’m sure I’ll be back for another super relaxing session. You should check this place out too.
