As indicated by National Geographic Traveler, Philadelphia Magazine, and many others-Omega is a travel destination not to be missed.National Geographic Traveler recently included Omega in their online article "50 Top Wellness Destinations." Husna Haq writes of Omega, "A treasure trove of classes (meditation, stress reduction, body awareness), treatments (massage, facial), and speakers (Deepak Chopra, Maya Angelou) demand return visits."
The March issue of Philadelphia Magazine featured Omega in an article titled, "Trips That Will Change Your Life." Author Lauren McCutcheon, who came for a yoga workshop, remarked on the diversity of people who come to the campus, "During my stay, I met a VIP on the New York state political scene, a grieving widow from Maine, an art teacher from an exclusive Manhattan girls' school, an actor from California, and the conductor of a fairly renowned orchestra-each there for a different workshop."
