Open: Breathwork + Meditation

This app helped me regulate my nervous system and build routine. Essentially it helped me change my life. It’s the most important part of my day and it’s made me excited to get up early and quiet my mind first thing. I also enjoy it in the sauna at night or before bed to calm down after a busy day and return to myself. An essential part of my day and life.

I’ve tried 4 other meditation apps, and this one has been the absolute best for me and my extremely busy, disorganized brain. It’s the only one I’ve found that has a consistent format across different teachers, both in the meditation and the yoga/movement videos, which are all filmed in the same studio spaces. That familiarity helps me with consistency and therefore discipline to use the app almost daily. As a bonus, when you open the app, you get a daily meditation taking decision making away (especially great when I have decision fatigue). You can skip it and go into a meditation or program of your choice, but when I’m overwhelmed I can get a meditation out of the way just by hitting one button. That streamlined process can turn my whole day around, and I am frequently grateful for it. Highly recommend!!!
