Float away
Floats – in tanks, pods or pools – are THE latest thing and we are biiiig fans. However you choose to float, it’s the ultimate way to switch off all the senses – and even that monkey mind quietens down after a while.
Head to Bliss Wellness Spa & Float in Batemans Bay to try it out for yourself in their floatation tank.

There’s plenty of research showing the connection between feeling strong physically and being strong mentally and emotionally. That’s why a good sweat sesh can be such an awesome way to show your body some love.

Here’s a list of local gyms, trainers and studios to check out.
