Still thinking about your first surf + yoga vacation?

That’s exactly why we created the 5-Day Newbie Surf + Yoga Kickstarter Series — a free email guide that helps you move from “someday” to “let’s do this.”
Over five days, we’ll answer the questions people fairly new to surfing and yoga most often ask us — and give you our honest answers so you can plan confidently.
You’ll find out:
It’s easy to follow and written for anyone who’s been dreaming about catching that first wave but hasn’t quite taken the plunge.
Get our free 5-day guide and start turning “maybe someday” into “I’m ready.”
Why Vacation with Bodhi Surf + Yoga?
The best possible place to practice surf and yoga
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
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!
From Ripples to Waves of Change
A Bodhi Session doesn't end when you pack your bags. Meet the guests who are turning their vacation into everyday impact back home.
