Relax and Recharge: My Blissful Float Experience at The Indoor Oasis in Newton, MA
As the holiday season begins and blends into the excitement of the new year, a friend and I decided to hit pause and indulge in a much-needed wellness day. We turned to Groupon to find something new and exciting, while also making sure to emphasize our need for a little self care. After scrolling through the options, The Indoor Oasis in Newton, MA caught our eye - and it did not disappoint.
Our session began with a complimentary sweat in the infrared sauna, and let me just say, it was exactly what my body and mind needed. It had been ages since I’d allowed myself the luxury of simply sitting, breathing, and letting go of tension. For 45 minutes, we basked in the warmth, feeling the stress melt away while soaking in the quiet - a rare gift during this busy time of year. Y’all also know that I don’t get a moment of silence at home, so this was so incredibly nice.
Next up was the highlight of our wellness day: a 90-minute float in a double float tank. I’ll admit, I had a mix of curiosity and hesitation going into it. The online chatter about floating ranges from transcendent relaxation to a mysterious sensory experience, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But once we were there, the process felt simple and inviting.
After a quick rinse, we eased into the tank. The staff had prepared us with floating discs, earplugs, and clear instructions. It felt intimate and comforting to share the experience with my friend as we chatted and adjusted to the water. And then, we closed our eyes and let go.
When I tell you I passed out LOL. I woke up on a completely different side of the tank, disoriented in the best way possible. It was the deepest, most uninterrupted sleep I’ve had in ages (thanks to a toddler who usually has other plans for my nights). Waking up, I felt rejuvenated, grounded, and surprisingly light - as if the stress I’d been carrying had floated away.
This experience left me utterly amazed. Floating erased my unease and provided the reset I didn’t realize I desperately needed. I can confidently say it’s something I’ll do again, and often.
What made this experience even better was how easy it was to book. Groupon introduced us to something we may never have discovered on our own, and the process was seamless. It’s a treasure trove of unique experiences, classes, and activities waiting to be explored. If you’re on the hunt for something fun, meaningful, or just plain different, Groupon is the place to start.
As the year winds down, don’t forget to carve out time for yourself. Self-care isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity. Whether it’s a float session, a new hobby, or simply a day to unwind, take the opportunity to prioritize your well-being. You deserve it.
Check out The Indoor Oasis in Newton, MA - it might just be the reset you’re looking for.
