Slow Evening Rituals

How Float Therapy, Infrared Sauna & Body Treatments Can Transform Your Night

 

In a world constantly asking us to hustle, one of the most powerful things we can do is slow down. The modern lifestyle leaves many of us overstimulated and disconnected from our bodies, making it difficult to truly relax—especially in the evening. That’s where the concept of a “slow evening ritual” comes in.

At our wellness centre, we believe that true well-being begins with intention. By combining float therapy, infrared sauna sessions, and calming body treatments, you can create an evening experience that helps you reset, recharge, and reconnect—with yourself.

What Is a Slow Evening Ritual? 🤩

A slow evening ritual is a deliberate series of self-care actions designed to calm your nervous system, prepare your body for rest, and cultivate mindfulness. It’s not about rushing through a checklist—it’s about presence.

Think of it as an antidote to digital overwhelm and daily stress. Instead of scrolling your phone until midnight, you lean into practices that bring stillness, warmth, and peace to your body and mind.

Step 1: Begin with a Calming Body Therapy – Ground and Release 💆‍♀️

Start your ritual with a massage or therapeutic body treatment. This is where you drop back into your body. Gentle pressure, intentional touch, and calming aromas begin the process of unwinding.

Why include it in your ritual:

  • Enhances lymphatic flow and muscle recovery

  • Releases physical and emotional tension held in muscles

  • Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s rest-and-digest mode)

  • Prepares your body for the benefits of sauna and float

Suggested time: 40–60 minutes

Step 2: Move Into the Infrared Sauna – Detox & Deep Warmth 🔥

Infrared saunas provide deep, penetrating heat that warms your body from the inside out. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared waves heat your tissues directly, increasing circulation, encouraging detoxification, and promoting deep relaxation.

Why follow massage with sauna:

  • Maximizes detox after the muscles have been relaxed

  • Improves blood flow and aids in lymphatic drainage

  • Enhances the recovery benefits of your earlier massage

Suggested Time: 30 minutes

Pro tip: Bring a book or practice breathwork for a mindful experience.

Step 3: Finish with Float Therapy – Total Stillness & Sensory Reset 🌊

After your body is relaxed and your system warmed and detoxed, it’s time for float therapy. This is where everything—stress, noise, light, even gravity—melts away.

Floating in warm water infused with Epsom salts creates a zero-gravity, sensory-free environment that promotes profound relaxation and mental clarity.

Why end with floating:

  • Transitions you into deep mental rest and pre-sleep calm

  • Supports muscle recovery with magnesium absorption

  • Deepens brainwave states, promoting theta waves linked to meditation and REM sleep

Suggested Time: 60 minutes

Pro tip: Don’t rush—take 5–10 minutes after your float to relax in silence before leaving.
