FLOAT Boston Holds Annual Winter Sale

Through New Year’s Eve, Natural Awakenings readers may use code FESTIVE to take 10 percent off gift cards, floats, float packages and the first month of FLOAT Boston memberships. “You can even schedule online gift certificates ahead of time, from home, in your pajamas,” says co-owner Sara Garvin. “Your gift list is handled, and you can feel good about supporting a local business."

FLOAT Boston also carries special gift items such as books, salt lamps, its signature lemongrass and sage body wash and shampoo and products from veteran-owned Colorado Hemp Honey.

FLOAT Boston is a flotation therapy center with floatation tanks, also known as isolation tanks or sensory deprivation tanks, where clients enter a zero-gravity environment designed to help the mind and body relax, recover and reset. The state of sensory relaxation achieved during a float session acts as a powerful therapeutic tool. Floatation rest offers countless benefits, both physical and mental.

Location: 515 Medford St., Somerville, MA. For more information, call 844443-5628 or visit FLOATBoston.com. See ad on page 31 and Resource Guide on page 35. For every minute you remain angry, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Break Free, Let Go and Grow at Breathwork Workshops

Amy Chauvin, owner of Breathwork & Wellness with Amy, will hold three group breathwork workshops this month to help people reduce stress and anxiety, and increase clarity, creativity and manifestation powers while detoxing on a mental, energetic and physical level. The workshops will take place from 2 to 3:15 p.m., December 12 and 19, at Thrive Moves, in East Greenwich, and from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m., December 17, at Simplify Yoga, in Coventry.

Participants will engage in deep diaphragmatic breathing while lying down, guided by voice and a soothing musical journey. This inner journey has helped thousands go deep, heal and grow. “Breath is life, and life is breath, and sometimes the only way out is in,” maintains Chauvin, who also offers pop-up breathwork workshops in New England along with one-on-one (in person in East Greenwich, Rhode Island or virtual) and small, private groups and corporate bookings. Gift certificates and packages are available.

Cost: $49 for workshops. For more information, visit linktr.ee/awakengreens.

In this workshop, he will be giving attendees a personal road map on how they can move into their most successful and satisfying life.

“I offer a ticket for you and a guest because I know the importance and value of finding support from other people to help you along your journey,” says Blackett.

He also offers a free Morning Mindset Book Studies from 9:05 to 9:25 a.m., weekdays, through Facebook livestream.
