DRY FLOAT
Deep relaxation and recovery—float fully clothed in a zero-gravity environment without getting wet.
Dry Float therapy offers many of the relaxation benefits of floating, without water or Epsom salt. You lie on a comfortable membrane while warm water below creates a weightless, zero-gravity feel.
The result is a calming, supportive environment that many clients use for stress reduction, recovery days, improved sleep routines, and mental clarity.
At Zivel, dry float is designed to be easy: you stay dry, you stay clothed, and you leave feeling reset.
Benefits
Many clients use dry float as a nervous system reset—quiet, calm, and restorative.
A weightless-feeling session can complement recovery stacks and rest days.
Often used in evening routines or high-stress weeks to promote relaxation before bed.
Quiet time + sensory reduction can support a refreshed, clear-headed feeling.
Unlike traditional float tanks, dry float keeps you dry and fully clothed—no shower required.
Pairs well with red light therapy, compression, and sauna for a full reset.
The Experience
Check in and get oriented. You'll stay clothed and comfortable for the session.
Lie back as the warmed water beneath the membrane creates a zero-gravity feel—quiet, calm, and restorative.
Most clients feel relaxed and refreshed. Hydrate and continue your day—or stack another service.
Many clients use dry float 1–2x/week for stress support, recovery days, or sleep routines.
The Science
Float-based relaxation experiences are studied for their effects on stress reduction and relaxation response. Dry float uses a similar concept—weightless feel and sensory reduction—while keeping you dry.
Zivel's approach focuses on consistent, restorative sessions and pairing dry float with complementary modalities based on your goals.
Safety First
Dry float is generally comfortable and low-impact for most people. If you have conditions affected by heat, pressure sensitivity, or difficulty lying flat, your studio team can help you decide what's appropriate.
If you have medical conditions, are pregnant, or have any concerns, consult your clinician before use.
