Five years ago, we began to practice yoga and as a result, we began to think and create a little differently. This newfound awareness helped us to realize that our ten years of combined Internet, marketing, entertainment and promotions experience would be better served helping green businesses, yoga studios and teachers, authors and speakers, product companies and conscious media, to more effectively reach their customers and deliver their message.

With this intention, we committed ourselves to building a unique interactive company that provides a highly effective email marketing solution and awe-inspiring designs. A company whose mission is to work as your partner, delivering real value by supporting you in cultivating a higher connection with your customers, community and fans. By offering a simple email management tool, sophisticated designs, expert strategy, friendly technical support and affordable rates, Namaste Interactive has attracted some amazing companies in the conscious market.
