Read about our popular programs:

1. Member Referral Program

2. Group Discounts

3. Sponsorship Opportunities

1. Member Referral Program

NAMASTA members receive a $20 retroactive discount for each Professional Member they refer to NAMASTA and $10 for each Associate Member. The discount is credited once the membership year of a referred member has been paid in full (i.e. after a minimum of 60 days for a referred member that pays for his/her membership upfront and after a minimum of 12 months for a referred member who pays his/her membership with 12 monthly payments).

At the time he or she joins, the referred member must notify NAMASTA of who referred them in order for the referring member to get the discount.

The referral reward CAN be combined with the Group Discount Program described below, however a member will not get rewards for referring members of his/her own group.
For instance, member A can refer members F, G, H, I and J and will get rewards for all 5 members while F, G, H, I and J get the group discount.
Member “A” can also get the Group rate on his/her own membership if s/he joins at the same time as B, C, D and E. However, in that case, A will not get rewards for referring B, C, D and E.

NAMASTA reserves the right to modify or cancel this program at anytime, so start referring your friends, peers and staff now.

2. Group Discounts

NAMASTA now offers a 25% discount to groups of 5 or more members who purchase annual memberships at the same time, for instance:

5 or more instructors or massage therapists;
one studio and 4 or more instructors or massage therapists;
2 studios and 3 instructors or massage therapists; and so on…

Details

The group discount applies to each annual membership. Under the Group Discount Program:

Associate Memberships are US $75
Professional Memberships are US $149

Members need not be in the same location or have the same profession. The memberships are activated once the threshold of 5 members is reached

Exclusions

Group discounts are not retroactive and cannot be combined with other offers (except the Referral Rewards Program), do not apply to online registrations nor to the monthly payment option.

The Group Discount applies to the NAMASTA membership only and not to the services that you may separately obtain from vendors that provide benefits to NAMASTA members.

To apply for the group discount, 2 easy options:

by phone

Call NAMASTA toll-free at 1-877-626-2782 and provide the mailing address, payment card billing address (if different), e-mail, and payment card information for all the members who are part of your group. Because you need to give all the information on this membership form by phone, many groups prefer to send us the information by fax or mail.

by mail or fax

Print out and completely fill out as many copies of the membership registration form as needed and mail/fax them in to NAMASTA with your payment in US dollars. For assistance, please call 1-877-626-2782.
