The OM Festival comes to West Mountain Inn, Arlington, VT, Expected July. Froligo tracks current ticket prices, camping, attendee feedback and travel details.
What it stands for
The festival describes itself as a transformative retreat experience for your sacred soul and a curated transformational micro festival built for deeper connection over crowds, immersive experiences without overwhelm and unlimited access rather than choosing between offerings. It explains its name in its own words as the primordial sound of creation in Hindu scripture and the original vibration of the universe, and frames Vermont as a magical place with strong energy and universal vibrations, which is the festival's own vocabulary rather than an asserted fact. The current site addresses leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs and burned out executives as much as dedicated practitioners, and tells returning attendees attend once, belong forever, you are an OM'ie for life
The experience
What's special
Four days on the grounds of a Vermont country inn, with a schedule dense enough that 152 separate offerings ran between Thursday noon and Sunday evening across barns, tents, a pond, a labyrinth, a fire pit and the Battenkill River. The range is unusually wide for a festival this size: Kundalini, Katonah, Yin, Restorative, Chair Yoga, Acro and Vinyasa sit beside Franklin Method movement classes, pelvic floor and shoulder girdle anatomy workshops, cacao ceremonies, cold plunges, guided hikes, river tubing, a floating sound healing on Keelan Pond and nightly live music, kirtan and silent discos that ran past 11pm. Food is programmed rather than incidental, with farm to table dinners on the Inn patio, a wood fired pizza night and a wine, cheese and chocolate tasting all sold as separate experiences
What people love
Two testimonials are published on the festival's own homepage. One reads that OM truly changed the writer's life, praising the classes and workshops and the love and community, and saying they cannot wait to come back next year. The other says the writer looks forward to OM every year and calls it their favourite gathering. These are organiser selected quotes, not independent reviews
The practice
all abilities and all ages. The festival says the event is for all abilities and all ages and that people brand new to yoga, meditation, ecstatic dance and flow arts can still come, describing the environment as safe and fun. The 2026 programme itself ranged from Chair Yoga and Yoga Nidra through Yin and Restorative to a session explicitly labelled Fire In The Belly (Active Class), Acro Yoga and a five hour Lye Brook Falls hike, so demand varies widely by session. No per class level tagging is published
Poses adapted to a chair, accessible whatever your mobility.
Slower, foundational postures held breath by breath. The classic starting point.
A Hatha-based method organized around imagery, measurement and props.
Breathwork, chanting and repeated movements aimed at energy and focus more than a workout.
Fully supported poses with props, built for rest and recovery rather than effort.
Flowing sequences that link breath to movement. Expect to move and sweat.
