It offers a range of meditation courses, staring from the basics and expanding to many other aspects (e.g. work life, healthy habits, stress better). It also offers many single short audios (15-30 minutes) of guided meditation focused on different themes, such as deep relaxation, find your purpose and sleep improvement. In addition, the app includes some podcasts discussing different topics such as meditation, emotions, and concepts of mindfulness in everyday life.
