Enter: Halotherapy, a practice that utilizes micro-ionized pure-grade sodium chloride, inside a state-of-the-art salt cave.

A generator pumps salt into the air of the cave, which is additionally lined with salt boulders + the floor is covered in several thousands of pounds of salt, creating a relaxing and beneficial experience.

Bonus: Read about the benefits you may see with Halotherapy.

Here’s how your session works:

Upon arrival, you’ll pack your belongings into one of the provided lockers and grab your choice of blanket, pillow, or yoga mat. You’ll kick off your shoes and opt for socks or the provided scrubs.

You’ll enter the salt cave and choose to sit in one of the reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs, or you can lay on top of the salt floor on a mat.

Private sessions are 45 minutes long, and during this time you can relax or meditate while you breathe in the salt — some folks even take this time to take a nap.
