This zero-gravity environment promotes deep relaxation and accelerates recovery from physical stress. At Balanced Prairie Wellness in Cheyenne, WY, we offer customizable 30, 60, or 90-minute sessions in private flotation pods.

Red light penetrates skin surface layers to reduce inflammation and improve skin health, while near-infrared light reaches deeper tissues to promote cellular healing and muscle recovery. Both wavelengths work together in the Mito Red Light Bed to stimulate natural healing processes. At Balanced Prairie Wellness, we combine these wavelengths for comprehensive pain relief and tissue repair.

First-time floaters typically benefit from 60-minute sessions to allow time to relax and adjust to the sensory experience. Regular floaters may choose 90-minute sessions for deeper meditation and stress relief, while 30-minute sessions work well for quick recovery. At Balanced Prairie Wellness, we offer all three durations with customizable music options.
