The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Mind Body Flow runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

Water & cleaning at Mind Body Flow

Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Mind Body Flow's own information: down to a 10-micron filter, UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

To the community at large in the community within MIND BODY FLOW, I would like to personally offer my gratitude to those that have experienced and are continuing to experience the power of the meditation the stretching the conscious breathing the floating, and the infrared sauna of life.

Mind Body Flow is a true gem in Livermore. From the moment you step inside, you’re met with a sense of calm and a warm welcome from Jill and Santiago, who are truly amazing people. I’ve found the Sensory Deprivation Floats to be transformative; they create a profound sense of peace and help me practice staying present.

★★★★★ — Ruth, Mar 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I did a 60-minute float session at Mind Body Flow and found a depth of peace and relaxation that’s rare to come by. Floating inside the warm, womb-like space allowed my body to fully release tension and my mind to settle in a way I didn’t realize I needed. In all the roles I take on, I’m constantly “on.

★★★★★ — Elyas, Dec 2025

I’ve always wanted to experience a float tank and learned that they also do assisted stretching and have an infrared sauna so I did all 3. I’m a super active guy and have a million things running through my head all the time so wanted to give this a shot. It was such an awesome and calming experience.

Your first float at Mind Body Flow

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
