Open

“A modern ritual space for breath, movement, and sound — a soft place to land when the world feels loud. Daphne, Vytas & Hannah are in my regular rotation”

“I tried Headspace and Calm and neither kept me interested in returning daily. The app interface of Open is gorgeous and I love the daily quotes they share before each session. Can easily string weeks and months together of regular meditation without feeling overly “gamified”.”

“I know this is a little different than the other recs, but I find that my immune system & nervous system are so intertwined. The Open app is my go-to and 5-10 minutes a day of Breathwork (or a slightly longer yoga nidra practice) can feel super supportive.”

“I had forgotten about this app, originally brought to my desk by @Tami years ago, but boy is it good. My doc reminded me that I should try and find 15 minutes of some sort of meditation (walking without headphones etc) and I did on of Manoj D’s mediations while I waited for a home service appointment and I feel so relaxed. I like this app because it has yoga/pilates/movement videos too!”

“The classes (particularly Ally Maz and Erin Gilmore’s taped classes—follow them too, they’ve both moved on from Open now) are fantastic! It’s worth it just for the breathwork, but I love the yoga flows and guided meditations as well. The community is really lovely, even in a virtual space.”

“Honestly the only meditation and breathwork app that’s worked for me. Somehow it always knows just what I need to focus on each day!”

“Best daily meditation and quick movement”
