Meet Deeshen

Welcome to Namaste to Nihao! I’m Deeshen. I founded Namaste to Nihao with my wife Jade.

I’m a Yoga Qigong teacher, Life Coach and Wellness Retreat Leader with years of experience in holistic wellness, and mindful travel.

My journey started in India in my youth, where yoga and meditation weren’t just practices—they were a way of life.

That early foundation set me on a path of deep compassion and taught me discipline, and set me on a path of engineering.

But it wasn’t until I found myself in Taiwan doing Qigong with elders, and learning under a master coach in the Himalayas that my spiritual path flew a hundred leaps.

Then my real spiritual journey began when I discovered the “Tao”, known as “the way” in the Tao te Ching.

This led me to dive into the ancient wisdom of Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, spirituality and even Modern Science.

Each offering profound insights into the nature of life, the universe, and the path to oneness.

I learned that there is a spiritual solution to every problem.

Then came the moment Qigong chose me.

Qigong didn’t just come into my life—I felt like it embraced me, like an unstoppable force pulling me into something greater.

People often ask, “Why do you teach Qigong?”

The truth is, Qigong chose me.

Jade and I began practicing Qigong every single day. In our garden. In nature. Across the Hawaiian islands.

And then, one day, something profound happened.

We were outside, moving with the breath of the earth. The ocean swayed. The rain came and went.

The sun peeked through the clouds.

As I moved, nature moved with me.

And then, a rainbow appeared—stretching across the Ko‘olau mountain range behind me.
At that moment, I felt it.

Nature felt our sincerity. It saw our effort to embody its rhythm, and in return, it danced with us.

That was the first time I truly experienced flow—a oneness beyond words.

I let go of all resistance.

There was no longer the “I” or “self.” No separation between nature and me.

Only energy, movement, and connection.

The “I” dissolved, and became one with nature.

That’s the Qigong flow we are gifting to our students and you.

These experiences made me ask a bigger question:

Could these ancient wisdoms hold the key to modern problems and suffering? I believe they do.

There’s a saying that our consciousness is like water. When it’s filled with too much, the water becomes cloudy, and no light can shine through.

But when you practice Qigong daily, you clear the water.

And one day, it becomes so clear that light radiates through it effortlessly.

You return to your true self—and know it for the very first time.

You become the highest version of your divine self.

One with universal consciousness.

Life force energy—Qi, Mana, God, and the universe—flows through you, effortlessly.

Strong as a mountain. Soft as flowing water. And as fleeting as a bird's song.

Qigong helps you unlock a whole new level of awareness.

Over time, I’ve developed my own Yoga + Qigong style to help others reconnect with their mind, body, and soul.

Now we are so grateful to share that as Yoga Qigong teachers, life coaches and wellness retreat hosts.

If you ever find yourself in Hawaii, we welcome you to book a private multiday Hawaii wellness retreat with us, or take a Qigong yoga class with us! It'll be life changing :)

One of our dreams is to take our community abroad on international wellness retreats to our favorite places like Taipei and Ubud, so stay tuned for that!

Our students have shared that Qigong has helped them experience healing, energy shifts,
profound gratitude, self-awareness, and deep inner peace. The list goes on.

If this sounds like something you want to experience, I’m here to guide you in your path.
Let’s tap into your full potential—one breath, one movement at a time.

When you learn to move in the ways of nature, it'll shift your entire being, where ever you travel. 

This is where our mindful travel guides can serve you, a touch of mindful travel + luxury + life changing moments makes the heart happy and healthy.
