I suggest trying them all. If you want woo-free, check out Yoga with Adrienne on youtube, and/or go to a yoga class at your gym rather than independent. Headspace is a great, woo-free intro to meditation.
If you like the woo, try a buddhist centre - they will likely do both.0 -

I see that Headspace is not free. But you can download the app (android) for free. So what happens and how much is the program? I can't seem to find that easily.
I think you have to go to the website to subscribe. It gets cheaper the longer you commit. For me it was about £5 a month, I think, maybe £50-60 for the year.
See this page (maybe different if you don't live in the U.K): https://www.headspace.com/buy
ETA: but don't forget to try the free Take Ten course first!
The Take 10 course is free, and you can do it as much as you want. I subscribed for a bit because I was finding it really helpful. I unsubscribed when I stopped using the premium meditations, and now am back to free, doing only the basic take 10.0 -

I had the same experience. I did Headspace for a few years but now I prefer yoga as meditation (and another vote for Yoga with Adrienne).

And I probably should have done this earlier.
Here is another thread on the topic.

I bought the Kindle version of the Relaxation Response. An interesting read, although I did not find it that helpful as a how-to guide. It shows some of the scientific studies done on mediation.
I think I might try Calm for a bit.0 -
Thank you so much everyone! Very informational and will check these out.
