Infinity Float in Roundhay offer an unbeatable relaxation experience in the form of floating pods.
In a search to cure their own levels of stress and anxiety, the masterminds behind Infinity Float discovered floating in float pods and the numerous health benefits it had on an individual.
After finding a method of meditation that directly enhances relaxation to unimaginable levels and has an immensely stress reducing effect, they set to opening Infinity Float in Leeds so that others could experience it.
So, how can you float? Well, when entering Infinity Float you will be asked to take a quick shower to remove any dirt, oil, or fragrances to ensure you have the best experience as possible.
Ear plugs will then be provided so you can fully switch off from the outside world as well as prevent any water from entering your ears.
You can then enter the float tank where you can allow yourself to fully let go and lay on your back, the epsom salt enriched water fully supports you and allows you to float on your back effortlessly. Here you will be encouraged to let your head and neck relax, close your eyes and feel the tension escape from your body.
Floating is perfect for those who have anxiety, are suffering from stress or just want to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

Incorporating floating into your routine and through the removal of sensory stimuli, you are allowing your mind to be free from all distractions, enabling you to be in the perfect place to find your ultimate inner peace.
Not only that but floating is extremely effective in treating sleep problems such as insomnia, with an hour’s floating offering up similar benefits to a six-hour sleep in a bed, the tranquil state you experience in the pod will follow you until bedtime to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.

It also has proved successful in treating lower back pain, providing immediate relief for those who suffer from back pain, inflammation and muscle tension.
The spa can be found on Easterly Road in Roundhay, Leeds, on arrival you are greeted with a lovely calming aesthetic complete with state of the art facilities, the service is impeccable and makes you feel immediately at ease.
There are a range of price options with a one-off float costing £40, and if you use the code HOOT20 when booking you can even get 20% off your first float.

It looks like even more new flats could be popping up in Leeds city centre.
The land in question is located near Leeds' Aire Park development, next to The Adelphi Pub in a prime location smack bang in the city centre.
It's looking like over 240 flats could be built on the site after the council has agreed to sell the coveted plot of land to a housing developer.
The current land that is surrounded by heritage assets has been sold by Leeds City Council to property developer Glenbrook.
A planning application from Glenbrook proposed mostly 246 one and two bedroom apartments in a whopping 24 storey development.
Around 20% of the homes would be classified as affordable housing, being rented out at 80% of the current private market rate.
The application will be discussed when the council's City Plans Panel meets next Thursday 14 May.
A council planning officer’s report said: “The emerging proposals present a significant opportunity to regenerate a prominent vacant brownfield site within the city centre.
“The development would deliver a substantial number of new homes, alongside the provision of some employment opportunities.”
A council decision report when selling the plot back in 2022 said: “It is surrounded by heritage assets in an area undergoing rapid regeneration and is widely considered to be a prime plot capable of supporting a high quality residential development.”
Well then Leeds, what do you make of these plans then?
