Key takeaways for Namaste Friend
Where is it heading?

The SWOT
- 100+ practice library creates a high-volume content barrier
- Weekly exclusive content cadence removes ad-supported friction
- Specialized categories like nervous system reset target high-intent segments
- Localized content for non-English wellness markets
