Bodhi Surf + Yoga's 7 Day Bodhi Slide Bodysurf + Yoga camp is a week of learning, relaxation, and fun in a beautiful, coastal community. It is a one-of-a-kind vacation that you can feel good about and will remember for years to come.

This week-long camp will provide you with ample resources (knowledge, tools, and time) to develop your bodysurfing skillset and deepen your yoga practice. When you are not participating in a core activity, you will be relaxing at our beautiful lodge, connecting to both nature and our quaint community, and exploring what this beautiful part of Costa Rica has to offer.

We abide by the motto of "small is beautiful", and can only host up to ten people per week at our lodge. Moreover, in this intimate surf and yoga camp setting, owners and staff are the ones sharing in your Costa Rica surfing and yoga experience with you.

Our operations are based out of a small town that is still relatively untouched by large-scale tourism, and we work together with our fellow community-members to keep Bahia Ballena beautiful and have it serve as a positive example.

We are committed to sustainable tourism: community involvement and environmental awareness are part of your experience with Bodhi Surf + Yoga. Finally, we are the first ever surf and yoga camp in the world to earn B Corp certification!

• 5 nights at Bodhi Lodge

Are you able to dedicate two full weeks to learning and growth? Check here for details about what the Bodhi Awaken 14 Day Bodysurf, Ocean Awareness, and Surf + Yoga Camp includes.

Like any sport, the more time you dedicate to deliberate practice and repetition, the better you are going to perform. Dedicating a full week allows you ample time to gain confidence in the ocean and drastically improve your bodysurfing ability and ocean confidence. Furthermore, you will also have the time and space to renew your perspective as well as reconnect with nature, self, and purpose.

Our bodysurf and yoga camps are designed with the knowledge of over 10 years of being operational that the two activities complement one another greatly, and especially in the learning process. When done together, the body is more relaxed, and the mind more open. With a minimum of five bodysurf lessons and five yoga classes, we have enough time and opportunity to really teach both activities, help build strong foundations, and impart the many valuable lessons to be learned both on the mat and in the ocean to our guests.

The most important thing you need to bring for the bodysurf lessons is a tight-fitting swimsuit that will create minimal drag (and will stay on)-similar to what you would wear to swim laps in a pool. Swim fins will be provided for you, but you can certainly bring your own if you already have a pair.

The food at the Bodhi Surf + Yoga lodge aims to check all of these boxes: filling, nutritious, healthy, locally-sourced, home-made, fresh, and delicious. The Bodhi Surf + Yoga team members are also avid foodies and strive to serve food that exceeds guests' expectations. Bodhi Surf + Yoga is able to cater to specific dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free, etc.

There are many restaurants in the Bahia Ballena - Uvita area, with several delicious options within a 10-minute walk. There are also more places to eat popping up every year. If you don't feel like walking, you can also look into renting a bike or opt to take a taxi.

It is not required to have a car for your stay at Bodhi Surf + Yoga. Transportation from the airport and back is included in your vacation package price. Once at the lodge, transportation to all scheduled activities is included. Moreover, most everything else you need is accessible by foot (restaurants, shops, banks, etc.) If you desire to go further than walking distance, you can either rent a bike for the week or take a taxi.

The Bodhi Surf + Yoga lodge is located approximately one mile / 1.8km (15-20 minutes walking-distance) from either the Punta Uvita (Whale Tail) or Playa Chaman (Bodhi Surf + Yoga's bodysurf beach) park entrances. For bodysurf lessons, we drive all together, which takes about 5 minutes.
