The Nova Sanctuary, Oceanside

Billed as a space for escaping the rigors of everyday life and rejuvenating the mind, body, and soul, The Nova Sanctuary helps visitors restore their spirit with a variety of wellness services. Whether it's a beginner's yoga class or a session of floating in a sensory-deprivation tank, each offering at Nova aims to help you heal in a unique way:

• Flotation Therapy: Enter a private float pod filled with 10" of water, heated to 96 degrees, and saturated with Epsom salt. By floating in the super-buoyant pool—especially if you choose to remove light and sound from the tank as well—the body feels a completely pressure-less sensation, in turn calming the mind and leading to complete relaxation.
• Yoga and Meditation: The Nova Sanctuary's staff of experienced yogis lead courses ranging from introductions to yoga to meditative Hatha flows.
• Wellness Services: Along with life and relationship coaching to relax the mind, Nova Sanctuary helps instill a feeling of wellness throughout the body with the Reiki and Raindrop healing techniques.
