180 Float Spa:

Float Your Way to Total Relaxation

Step into another world at 180 Float Spa, where the outside world fades and your brain gets to hit pause. Float therapy is exactly what it sounds like—a sensory deprivation experience in a warm, quiet pod that lets you fully unplug. Zero gravity, zero distractions, and (if you’re like most first-timers) zero regrets.

Pair your float with an infrared sauna or a massage from one of their in-house therapists for the full circuit. The space itself is calming and minimalist, just clean lines and thoughtful details. It’s one of the few places in Boone where quiet feels this intentional.

High Country Yoga or Neighborhood Yoga

Breathe, Stretch, Relax

Yoga in Boone just hits different. Whether you’re a longtime yogi or just dipping your toes into child’s pose, both High Country Yoga and Neighborhood Yoga offer approachable classes in welcoming, grounded spaces.

High Country Yoga focuses on alignment, breath, and classes that meet you where you are—from gentle flows to Vinyasa and specialty workshops. Neighborhood Yoga, right downtown, feels like stepping into an exotic retreat. You’ll find meditation, restorative sessions, and a loyal local following. Bonus: Neighborhood Yoga is connected to Rooted on King, where you can grab a nourishing meal after your practice—a mindful way to extend the calm.

It’s less about being flexible and more about feeling connected to your body, your breath, and maybe even your spirit.

The atmosphere is clean and modern, with plush white chairs and an elevated sense of calm that invites you to truly unwind.

Not every form of rest looks the same, and that’s the beauty of Boone. Some days, it’s a silent float tank. Others, it’s a hot tea and a foot soak. This town makes space for both. Whether you need a moment of calm between work and errands or you’re intentionally pressing pause for a weekend, these spots are here to help you feel like yourself again—the grounded, unrushed version.
