WHY VACATION WITH BODHI
Travel safely
We are fortunate to be uniquely positioned to provide a fun and learning experience while also complying with rigorous health and safety standards based on Costa Rican law and best practices from travel experts worldwide. Being an outdoor tourism provider and having a small lodge, Bodhi Surf + Yoga has been able to operate with minimal changes to our procedure. We are located in a small town that is not densely populated or over-touristed. Our community has been very proactive in terms of implementing protocols to ensure the safety of both visitors and residents.
Slowing it down in a laidback seaside Costa Rican community
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
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 SESSIONS
Surf + yoga camps for adults
Bodhi Sessions is our premier vacation option, the “best of Bodhi” surf and yoga camp, and the culmination of our 10 years of being in business. These set-date surf and yoga camps include surfing, yoga, environmental education, and community engagement. They have pre-determined itineraries that balance structure and flexibility, and feature just enough physical activity to get you moving and make you feel great. Bodhi Sessions is designed to give you solid exposure to our little community and the Pura Vida way of life.
This vacation option is recommended for adults (singles, couples, and groups) who are interested in an educational and physically active vacation in a pristine and paradisiacal area of Costa Rica.
BODHI FAMILY SURF CAMP
Surf camp for families
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.
BODHI AWAKEN
Bodysurfing, Ocean Awareness, Surf and Yoga Retreat
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.
