Description

“We believe that mindfulness is more than a form of stress relief — it can be a tool for personal growth, deeper understanding, vibrancy. More than a way to disconnect — it can be a way to feel a part of something bigger. More than simply silence — it can be immersive, beautiful, moving.” –Raed Khawaja, Open Co-founder & CEO Regulate your nervous system with Open. Bridge science and spirituality to cleanse your body and mind. Learn breathwork, meditation, and movement techniques designed by experts in neurobiology. Practice on the app and in-person at our flagship studio in Los Angeles. CLASSES BREATHE: Since the dawn of civilization, humans have developed techniques for manipulating our breath to induce desired states of consciousness. Now peer-reviewed studies in neuroscience and psychology confirm that breathwork is a powerful toolkit for regulating your nervous system, optimizing your health and well-being, and catalyzing personal transformation. Breathwork is an umbrella term for myriad practices, both ancient and modern. While many techniques are deeply rooted in spiritual traditions like Yoga, Qi Gong, and Buddhism, contemporary applications integrate ancient wisdom with modern science.This synthesis of ancient and modern has given rise to transformational breathwork, designed to induce profound experiences of catharsis, insight, and breakthrough. Experience a mental reset with just a few minutes of conscious breathing. MEDITATE: Train your awareness and contemplate wisdom – with techniques that span generations, cultures, and traditions – with our daily meditations and monthly programs. Learn how to enhance your focus, reduce your stress and anxiety, and regulate your emotions with simple mindfulness techniques you can incorporate into your daily life. MOVE: Our methodology is designed through the intelligence of fitness – blending endurance, strength, mobility, and recovery – with the wisdom of mindfulness. A ritual for resilience, strengthening the body and mind. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE: Practice on your time with our endless library, with fresh classes added daily. From simple 5-minute breathwork techniques, to 60-minute strength and conditioning classes, build your practice to fit your schedule and meet your goals. Whether you’re starting your journey or seeking a new challenge, there are classes for every level and mood. PROGRESS TRACKING: Create a daily habit that sticks with progress tracking, push reminders, streaks, and badges. A consistent breathwork and meditation practice has proven to reduce cortisol levels and regulate the nervous system–decreasing stress, supporting emotional well-being, and enhancing mental clarity. These techniques can also improve physical health by increasing heart rate variability, promoting cardiovascular health, and boosting immune function. CONNECT WITH US Questions?

    I downloaded this app under the free trial, but never made an account, and deleted it from my subscriptions in my Settings shortly after. I was charged for a monthly subscription yesterday, and finally went into the app today to try and cancel my membership and am not able to. I would like for my account to be cancelled, as I have no intention of using this app.

    I’ve been meditating for awhile and have used so many different apps. This one is my favorite. I love that it combines breathwork and meditation. The programs are great bc you don’t have to think about what to choose. Speaking of, there’s always a meditation picked out for the day, and I also love that it matches the time. So if I log in at night, it is designed to help me sleep, as opposed to the morning - something uplifting. I’m a big fan. It’s helping me heal after a breakup.
  • Used to be way better

    This app was great a few years ago but has steadily declined. They’ve taken away the daily live yoga classes and only a select number of recorded classes are accessible via their main navigation pages. I specifically loved the Restore yoga classes with Olivia and Tara Z but those are now hidden somewhere in the app’s catalogue. As others have said, it would be nice for new content to be posted regularly otherwise I could just go on YouTube or something.

    Starting out, I was skeptical. I didn’t really believe that a app could make me feel so present. The meditation class really clear my mind. The breath work class was intriguing and a challenge, but in a fun way. I found myself actually amazed by the end of the class. Mind you this is only my first class and I don’t know if all classes will have the same affect on me. So simply based off of first impressions it’s a five star review.
  • What happened to their app?

    The in-depth, longer breathwork sessions are gone. Very few classes over 15 minutes and you have to hunt in the app for them. Open can do better - enhance the search functionality so that users can easily find what they’re looking for.
  • Hands down, lovely.

    The instagramification of mindfulness. The app is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing but I am having a hard time to find actual certified practioners. It feels all looks, no substance. The quiet in the app is too quiet, making meditations hard to fully immerse in when you’re jumping at the next time the “teacher” jumps in after long periods of silence. It appears hard to actually see the full catalog of what they have, especially sound, and feels more like a social media app than something to actually help with one’s mindfulness for a long period of time.
  • Best mindfulness app
