FLOTATION THERAPY: Think of it like a long bath that can't be interrupted by ringing phones or someone else who needs to use the tub. Simply float in a pool of warm water infused with Epsom salts. The Float Spa is a local dealer that installs the tubs in your home. For more information call 215-785-4228.

REIKI: Originally a Japanese practice, reiki is about the balance of the mind, body and spirit that is administered through gentle touching, usually on a massage table. The goal of equilibrium in reiki is meant to lead to stress reduction that has its own healing qualities. Give a try at the Reiki School and Clinic, which has locations in Bella Vista (727 S. 4th St., 215-238-0659, thereikischool.com) and Collingswood, N.J. (688 Haddon Ave.).
KUNDALINI YOGA: This practice differs from the average yoga class because it focuses on expanding the senses and intuition.

Studio 34 (4522 Baltimore Ave., 215-387-3434, studio34yoga.com) offers classes Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
