It's no doubt one of the most interesting [wellness trends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairmont-hotels-resorts-introduces-holistic-healing) to date, involving floating in a concentrated [saltwater bath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-therapy) in special [floating tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-pod) that give the feeling of weightlessness. The water has a real buoyancy to it; it's like your own personal Dead Sea. The tanks are filled with about 600 litres of a brine mixture which is exactly the same temperature as your skin (about 34.5°C.) The entire body relaxes, the skin and muscles warm up, and your circulation improves. Although it might look like you're meditating in a giant toilet bowl, the zen-like state you'll feel will surely cancel any self-consciousness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Weightless Therapy:** The rise of weightless therapy offers an innovative approach to relaxation through the use of sensory deprivation tanks. - **Floating Centers:** The emerging trend of floating centers provides disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses to offer unique wellness and relaxation experiences. - **Alternative Wellness:** The growing popularity of alternative wellness practices, like floating therapy, presents opportunities for businesses to tap into a new market for health and wellness services. ### Where This Applies - **Wellness Centers:** Wellness centers can incorporate weightless therapy into their offerings to provide a unique and innovative relaxation experience for their clients. - **Spas:** Spas can add weightless pods as part of their services to attract customers looking for alternative wellness experiences. - **Fitness Centers:** Fitness centers can explore incorporating weightless therapy as a post-workout relaxation option for their members. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aquatic Sound Meditation Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-meditation.md) - [Dreamlike Weightless Therapies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerial-flow-therapy.md) - [Mental Relaxation Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis.md) - [Water Immersion Therapy Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapy-tank.md) - [Calming Bedtime Bath Soaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtime-bath-soak.md) - [Sound-Proof Meditation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headspace-pod.md) - [Dead Sea Bath Salts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-sea-bath-salt.md) - [Ultra-Immersive Spa Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spa-dome.md) - [Fatigue-Fighting Bath Soaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fatigue-defeating-bath-soak.md)
