Relax, take it easy; the best things in life happen to be free. Spotify and leading mindfulness app Calm have partnered up to exhale some goodness into the streaming platform, and a lot of it comes at no extra cost.
“One of the challenges of practicing mindfulness is finding time for it amid the many demands of day-to-day life,” shares Calm in a blog post. So it thought, why not make these habits more accessible during people’s personal time, such as when they’re on the commute?
“That’s why we’ve teamed up with Spotify to make some of our best content conveniently available in the Spotify podcast catalog,” it adds. Calm’s entrance is part of Spotify’s Open Access initiative that lets brands share their premium content on the app.
