About

Flotation Tank Center - Relax, Inspire, Heal

Story

Our brains and bodies are bombarded by our environment. Gravity, temperature, touch, light, smells and sounds constantly pull on our muscles, nervous system and senses. We get overwhelmed, and the stress can physically manifest into pain.

Floatation tanks are lightless, almost soundproof tanks of warm saltwater. They remove external physical stimuli, creating a state of "sensory" relaxation. Under these conditions your body has a chance to restore its natural powers of self regulation, while you simply lie back and relax.

Free from all external stimulation, your body can achieve a state of relaxation which is deeper, purer and more beneficial than sleep. With no body to look after, your mind can attend to other business.

I had my first float at Oakland Floats the day after I ran my first marathon, and it was an excellent way to help both my body and my mind recover. Oakland Floats is quiet and peaceful, and Hannah answered every question about floating I didn't know I had, telling me tips and tricks to ensure I had a good time--put Vaseline on any small cuts on your fingers; be careful not to get the salt water in your eyes; if you do get salt in your eyes, use this solution; even different float techniques that people use! I really appreciated her taking the time to give me a thorough understanding of floating. I really feel like it allowed me to have a full experience! I had a really restful time, and really enjoyed the amenities. The earplugs in particular are very impressive and high quality. I got to just think about my running experience and do some creative brainstorming for a while. It was very peaceful and relaxing. I can see how people could fall asleep in here! My ankles felt so much better coming out than going in, and my skin feels super smooth today! Thanks Oakland Floats! :)

This place is great. Simple and clean and not too much going on. The location is very great (walking distance from MAC Arthur bart. Arianne was great. Knowledge and pretty detailed for something so simple... She knew great places to eat at after words which was great. I like the chamber it has a lot more space than the tanks. I drank coffee before my float and could not relax but my legs felt much better and I slept so great

Best deal in the bay! Great healing tool for PTSD, love this place. The problem however is that it I'll ruin your hair so... I put two swim caps to keep mine dry. Problem solved. Thanks OF

What an amazing way to float away from all of life's problems...if only for an hour. Do yourself a favor and buy the package deals because one session is never enough. Enjoy!

Came in to buy a gift certificate for a relative as a X-mas gift. Staff was very inviting and calming. Ambience was serene and peaceful my cousin gave me 👍👍 after attending her session.
