How It Works

OmStays is a reciprocal Guest/Host travel program. Members are asked to act as both Guests and Hosts. OmStays connects yoga travelers. Join for $35 a year then stay as a guest in a member home for $15 per night. Our homestays offer an affordable, eco-conscious accommodation alternative while you travel for yoga classes, retreats or just for the experience. Find events, classes, studios and new friends wherever your yoga travels take you.

Annual Dues

Annual membership dues unlock a world of affordable and eco-sensitive lodging options for traveling yogis. OmStays offers three levels of individual (one-person) membership. Requirements and annual dues for each are different.

OmStays Community

OmStays is a member-based homestay community for yoga enthusiasts that encourages the enhancement of our beings and our lives through the practice of yogic virtues. By cultivating a reciprocal host and guest community, OmStays promotes an atmosphere where members practice karmic yoga through the virtues of non-harming, truthfulness, compassion and kindness. OmStays community members must be at least 21 years of age, and agree to provide a clean and comfortable sleeping environment and either a light or full breakfast for one or more guests.

Participation is exclusively internet based, in line with our eco-conscious philosophy. As a member, your name is listed in the password-protected OmStays Directory. When you join, you will have immediate access to search the Directory to arrange an OmStay.

Nonprofit Opportunities
Nonprofit organizations may join OmStays for free but access is restricted to posting events on the Calendar and providing a profile of the organization. Nonprofit members cannot access the OmStays Directory.
