What Guests Have To Say

My wife and I have stayed at Bodhi for three weeks over two trips. It was magical. It is a small and intimate retreat venue with great people that you will get to know and love. The surf instruction is excellent. During our first trip I went from never having surfed to riding green waves in the first week and have since spent all my time outside the white wash. That was very gratifying. Pilar's yoga instruction is excellent as well.

The Bodhi camp has been one of my favorite surf and yoga camps to attend. I first visited for two weeks in February and then again for three weeks in July 2021. The surf team members are attuned to participants' different surfing levels and are able to adjust their coaching style to support overall progress. As an intermediate surfer, my favorite part was it felt like I was just out surfing with friends but could immediately tell that my skills kept improving week after week.

Cam G.

The beach break at La Colonia beach is an ideal place to learn to surf. Most of the time the waves are perfect for beginners learning to surf--not too big, not too fast. During my week of surf camp I learned how to connect with the Ocean, with myself, and with a wonderfully warm group of people. Every morning I woke up looking forward to meeting with my instructors and the other classmates. The meals at Bodhi were so delicious and healthy. After a week at Bodhi Surf and Yoga I only wished I could have stayed longer. This was my second year at the surf camp, and there will be more.

Richard S.

We went to Bodhi for a week in February and had an immersive, incredible experience! We felt connected to mother earth and to the community. Bodhi isn't just a vacation. It's a lifestyle. It's a community. It's where life is slow and the friendships are fast. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We'll be back soon.

Why Vacation with Bodhi Surf + Yoga?

why-practice-yoga

The best possible place to practice surf and yoga

divider-wave

At Bodhi Surf + Yoga, we provide the best possible surf and yoga instruction. Your learning is our top priority. It is here that you will learn to surf on a sandy beach with perfect waves for beginner and intermediate surfers, from knowledgeable, passionate, and invested instructors. It is here you will practice yoga on a raised platform surrounded by exotic foliage and sounds, with passionate and dedicated yoga instructors and life-long practitioners and students of the practice. Moreover, we know a little secret that many camps have overlooked: surfing and yoga are mutually beneficial — theoretically, practically, physically, and mentally. The two practices complement each other so perfectly that we gave them equal weight in our weekly camp schedule. Even if you think you want to do just one, we urge you to try both. You will be surprised.

Slowing it down in a laidback seaside Costa Rican community

divider-wave

At Bodhi Surf + Yoga, we offer the taste of a simpler way of life. Many of us come from fast-paced lives, but it's important to slow down every once in awhile. Bodhi Surf + Yoga is your ticket to a laid-back, "Pura Vida" oasis, located in a small Costa Rican community. Whether it's through the simple feat of not checking your phone for a few days, the presence of mind you find in your open-air yoga classes, the soul-deep connection you make with the ocean during your surfing sessions, or the sweet reminder to enjoy the beauty of what's around you every moment of every day - this trip has the potential to shake things up. Travel is an opportunity to learn about yourself, push your boundaries, and grow as a person. Your experience at Bodhi Surf + Yoga will impact you in unexpected ways and have a ripple effect in your life, even after you leave.

A fun-filled, stress-free vacation

divider-wave

At Bodhi Surf + Yoga, we want you to relax and unwind while putting your energy into learning and reflecting on the new information you're met with; practicing and improving both your surf and yoga skills; enjoying the moment; and soaking in the culture of tranquility, beauty, and simplicity that exists in Bahia Ballena. Our surf and yoga camps are semi-inclusive, ensuring that you get from the airport to us and back stress-free, that you sleep great and are well-fed, that your questions are answered and needs accommodated. There are also several spots to get some quality chill time in - lounging around the pool, laying the hammocks, or reclining in the shade of a tree on the beach - and our weekly schedule will leave plenty of time for that, as well as adventure and spontaneity!

Bodhi Family Surf Camp is our prime family vacation option, designed for families with kids under 18 years of age. Nothing unites a family like surfing together and sharing this amazing experience in the warm waves of Costa Rica. Surfing is the main activity, but there is also flexibility to add private family yoga sessions. There is plenty of downtime to hang out in the pool, lounge in the hammocks, or explore Bahia Ballena on your own. Transportation between San Jose and Bahia Ballena is included, greatly reducing the amount of stress for parents!

Bodhi Family is our family-friendly option, ideal for active and adventurous families who are looking to have a bonding family experience that balances fun-in-the-sun with learning.

divider-wave

A unique, ocean immersive two-week retreat that features experiential learning opportunities, laughter, fun, and sun, as well as tools and inspiration for personal growth. In the first week, guests gain ocean awareness and comfort as they learn the "simplest" form of surfing - wave sliding or bodysurfing. On week two, guests take their skills one step further, learning to navigate the waves on a surfboard, as well as reconnecting to themselves with an invigorating yoga curriculum.

This is the ideal retreat for any prospective waterwoman or man, or anyone looking to immerse themselves in one of our planet's most magical places - the ocean.
