Why we started the Namaste Network
In a world that only seems to be gaining speed, not slowing down, it’s no wonder that so many of us feel far removed from a state of well-being.
Enter The Namaste Network, a central hub for seekers of a more balanced and healthier lifestyle, where you can connect with holistic practitioners, from yoga teachers to nutrition experts and mental health professionals. I created The Namaste Network because there is a rising demand for these types of services and the people who offer them; it is part wellpreneur directory, part supportive collective.
This is not just a simplified, searchable directory; it is a gathering of seekers and practitioners who share similar goals and values. The practitioners listed on this site are here to serve their current clients better AND to find more of the right kind of clients. This new directory will provide you with both options, allowing you to choose the mix that best suits your needs. We anticipate that you’ll find this feature a win-win for both you, as the consumer, and for our providers.
The Importance of a Global Wellness Community
In the interconnected world we live in today, having a global community where every healing modality has a place is essential. The Namaste Network serves as a platform that bridges the gap between individuals seeking wellness and professionals in all different modalities of healing.
From practices steeped in tradition, such as Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tai-Chi, to those on the more contemporary leading edge, like Functional Medicine and Reiki, the diversity of options available on the platform should be seen as a beneficial quality. These individuals have utilized The Namaste Network to collaborate with a professional healer in the fields of holistic health and nutrition.
Previously, the person had no idea what “holistic health” was. “After struggling with anxiety for quite a while,” says another user, “I discovered a local yoga class being taught by an amazing instructor.”
The Vision Behind the Namaste Network
“Namaste Studios” draws inspiration from ancient wisdom for modern connectivity and pays homage to the universal right to wellness. It says we are all in this together, we are all meant to be well, and “Yes, It’s A Vibe!”
What Is the Namaste Network?
The Namaste Network is a comprehensive directory of wellness professionals. Our goal is to provide users with access to a broad range of holistic practices. Searching can be done by location, name, or practice. Ayurveda? Yes. Reiki? Yes. Yoga? Functional Medicine? Yes. Qigong/Tai-Chi? Yes. Mystics? Ye. If it promotes well-being, you’ll find it here.
Featuring detailed profiles of these practitioners allows users to get insights into a new practitioner’s qualifications, specialties, and personal practices without making judgments face-to-face, thereby facilitating positive patient progression. This trust-building exercise makes new patients feel more comfortable being open with the professional of their choice, thus starting the internet’s most underserved niche: digital divorce.
Dennis Bluthardt, Founder of Namaste Studios and the Namaste Network, brings diverse industry experience to the table. Dennis was trained in Yoga and has since begun pursuing a formal education in holistic health. This has allowed the founder to create a network that focuses on the word from which this site was named: Namaste Network

The Namaste Network also serves as a single point of access for those in need of healing to find you. There are many wonderful disciplines, including yoga, meditation, nutrition, and alternative therapies, along with numerous experts and individuals just starting their journey who need guidance on where to go, what to learn, and so on. Our platform will enable everyone to find the person and the discipline that they most align with at that time.
Becoming part of the movement, at this point, does not mean that you must attend a protest or some upscale wellness party (who are these people, anyway?) Fun, for fun’s sake, is why we practice yoga, BBG, or mindfulness. But if you want to join an instrumental, upscale wellness PARTY, which you can do at your own pace, entirely in the comfort of your own home, whenever you feel ready, join the growing list of the Wellness community now. All wellness community members will be notified when those in the Namaste network have a workshop, webinar, or community event worth checking out, so that you can discuss these things with people instead of being crippled with fear by the end of this blog.
The Namaste Network fosters a global wellness community that operates with a holistic, healing, and personal growth-first mindset. We believe in the power of incredible individuals at Stanford and beyond who are on a wellness journey, hoping to transform themselves for the better.
At the Namaste Network, we believe in the “village” mentality for individual healing, having another person you can talk to, even if others around you don’t understand. Together, whether that “other” for you is an influential woman blogger, a grad student, an academic, or a college student in Colorado, they will HELP guide you on your own USED TO BE SOMETHING micro spiritual adventure.

As the most recent “Initiative” to our brand, the spiritual component of The Namaste Network hopes to build a spiritual collective, filled with spiritual professionals, to bridge the gap among all seekers of the “Truth”, to help us make sense of the spiritual world around us through psychic mediumship.
