Unplug
Unplug Meditation started as drop-in studio classes before expanding into an app for anyone to download and enjoy. Unlike some of the others, Unplug uses video, not just audio, to make you feel more connected to the instructors.
Atluri, who trained at an Unplug studio to get her meditation certification, says she loves this app because of its curated library and wide selection of teachers. “There’s so many different instructors who are on the app, so you can get a feel for other styles,” Atluri says, “and find what suits you.”
MNDFL
MNDFL aims to bring the meditation community to you—and they offer a wide range of sessions. “We have one-minute quick fix videos up to full, 30-minute sits,” says Ellie Burrows Gluck, a meditation teacher and MNDFL co-founder (Rinzler, also a co-founder, is in many of the videos). Teachers at MNDFL come from varying backgrounds, such as Tibetan Buddhist and Shambhala, so you can try them all and see if you want to take a deeper dive into a style that works for you.
