Infinity Float in Roundhay offer an unbeatable relaxation experience in the form of floating pods.
In a search to cure their own levels of stress and anxiety, the masterminds behind Infinity Float discovered floating in float pods and the numerous health benefits it had on an individual.
After finding a method of meditation that directly enhances relaxation to unimaginable levels and has an immensely stress reducing effect, they set to opening Infinity Float in Leeds so that others could experience it.
So, how can you float? Well, when entering Infinity Float you will be asked to take a quick shower to remove any dirt, oil, or fragrances to ensure you have the best experience as possible.
Ear plugs will then be provided so you can fully switch off from the outside world as well as prevent any water from entering your ears.
You can then enter the float tank where you can allow yourself to fully let go and lay on your back, the epsom salt enriched water fully supports you and allows you to float on your back effortlessly. Here you will be encouraged to let your head and neck relax, close your eyes and feel the tension escape from your body.
Floating is perfect for those who have anxiety, are suffering from stress or just want to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

Incorporating floating into your routine and through the removal of sensory stimuli, you are allowing your mind to be free from all distractions, enabling you to be in the perfect place to find your ultimate inner peace.
Not only that but floating is extremely effective in treating sleep problems such as insomnia, with an hour’s floating offering up similar benefits to a six-hour sleep in a bed, the tranquil state you experience in the pod will follow you until bedtime to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.

It also has proved successful in treating lower back pain, providing immediate relief for those who suffer from back pain, inflammation and muscle tension.

There are a range of price options with a one-off float costing £40, and if you use the code HOOT20 when booking you can even get 20% off your first float.

She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
