    Hi I’m Chelsea, a certified RYT 500 yoga instructor, and my voice guides the Yoga Nidra practices in Namaste Friend. With over a decade of studying yoga, meditation, social, emotional, and ethical well-being in India, Nepal, Bali, and Emory University; I’m passionate about helping people reduce stress and find peace. I’m excited to share these tools in a simple, easy-to-use app.

  • iOS App Developer

    I’m Gabor, and I’m the developer behind Namaste Friend. We created this app to make it simple for people to prioritize rest and calm in their busy day. I’ve been building apps for 15 years, but this one is exciting. I feel inspired to combine my joy for mindfulness and meditation with iOS development.

We believe that everyone deserves happiness, freedom and peace. That’s why we built this app together: to give people permission to rest and find inner joy.

Compassion.

Our mission is to inspire self-compassion. Empowering people to extend kindness and care to others.

With Namaste Friend, we dream of a world where each person discovers the seed of perfection within themselves.

Every time they pause to rest and reflect using this app, that seed is nurtured—growing into greater peace, joy, and connection with the world around them.
