What floaters say
“The studio looks upscale, clean, and offers plenty of drinks and snacks to keep you fueled why you are there.”
“Pause and Dalene gave me the most pleasant experience when trying this studio for the first time.”
“I couldn't recommend this experience more; I had an amazing time and left feeling so relaxed.”
“Tried 30 minutes of compression therapy to reduce swelling & pain after an extensive week of walking in heat, humidity and truly felt like new legs afterwards.”
“Dalene, the owner, personally checked in with me each visit to ask about my experience and genuinely cared about my feedback.”
“I serve patients downtown and there’s nothing like having Pause in Sarasota FL in my back pocket when I need to slow down, quiet the noise in my mind, and just BE.”
From the reviews
I started float sessions here and this has cured depressive states and all stress as I work a lot. Highly recommend getting a membership if you are a busy professional and need to seriously reset. In 60 minutes you feel that you slept for a week. Highly effective, and the team here is amazing.
Absolutely love coming to Pause! The sensory deprivation float tanks are the perfect reset to unplug, recharge, and melt away my stress. I always leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and re-energized. Such a calming and welcoming space :)
So far, I’ve gone for a floatation and a contrast therapy. I love it. The team is great, the atmosphere is comfortable, it’s a clean space. Will be back soon!
Float session was top tier! Hard to put into words the level of relaxation my body and mind feel after this. Must try!
Your first float at Pause Sarasota
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.
