From the reviews

My team and I had an amazing experience at Pause Studio in Newport Beach. The staff was professional and attentive, the ambiance was serene, and the services were outstanding. We left feeling completely refreshed and would highly recommend this studio. LOVED the float and hold/cold therapy. Will be here frequently

Pause Studio Newport Beach has been my go to since it's opened! I love going regularly with my friends, solo, or my partner to unwind and relax. Just recently, I went in with my team and we rented out the space for all of us to enjoy. From cyro, to float tanks, to contrast therapy — everyone LOVED it.

★★★★★ — Kiana, Mar 2025

First time going in and Annie and Grace were so knowledgeable and sweet! They offer a ton of different services ranging from iv drops to contrast therapy to float tanks — I went with the red light therapy bed. I immediately noticed a difference in my skin complexion / radiance.

★★★★★ — Eden, Sep 2025

Beautiful morning. The staff was great and we were impressed with the cleanliness! My husband and I tried a lot of the therapies and are pondering on our favorites. Both loved compression and he particularly liked the floating experience. Thank you

Your first float at Pause Newport Beach

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.
