The Soft Serve Podcast

Stephen Bryla & Go With the Float.

Stephen Bryla is owner of Go with the Float, a floatation therapy center in Easthampton, MA. 

Floating is an experience that involves lying down in a saltwater solution in silent darkness, and is a simple way to achieve profound relaxation, meditation & wellness. Reduce stress, relieve pain, and explore deep states of relaxation, while floating in 1,200 pounds of soothing magnesium sulfate (epsom salt).  

We talked with Stephen all about this, how he got into floatation therapy, what floating is like, and more!

High Tea.

On the show are Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot from High Tea, an indie-folk duo. Their music is a concoction of sweepingly soulful harmonies, guitar riffs to knock your socks off, and a refreshing blend of old blues and new pop. These two musicians fill spaces with homegrown story telling and Lumineer-esque vocals. Their songs are ripe with americana heartbreak and tell tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.
