The Zero-Gravity Peace Pod

Prior to actually trying it out, you might assume that floating naked in a zero-gravity pod full of Epsom saltwater is a living nightmare. But the genesis pods (80 minutes, $72) at Hälsa float spa aren’t scary at all: you have full control over the lights, music and, most importantly, the pod door (which opens very easily). Each pod is in its own private, spacious room, complete with shower for scrubbing offpost-float. In fact, you might spend the first 10 or so minutes not in fear, but in boredom— how are you supposed to entertain yourself for 80 minutes suspended in saltwater? But then, before you know it, a gentle voice is telling you that time is up. What seemed like it would be a stressful experience turns out to be so peaceful that it’s common to fall asleep—and have one of the best naps you’ve ever experienced. halsa.ca
