Bodhi Surf + Yoga

B Corp and 1% for the Planet certified, community-engaged surf + yoga camp in Bahia Ballena, Costa R
(1)

Bodhi Surf + Yoga in Bahia Ballena, Osa, Costa Rica, is a life project that was started by a few friends in 2010, all of whom had a desire to contribute positively to our local and global communities, as well as share our passions and knowledge with others. Today it is a place where we live out their life’s purpose and inspire others to do the same. We are proud to be the first Certified B Corpora

tion surf + yoga camp in the world, a 1% for the Planet member, and more recently, a carbon neutral tourism destination! Through Bodhi Surf + Yoga’s various vacation options (Bodhi Sessions, Bodhi Family, Bodhi Awaken, and retreats), we share the fundamentals and foundations of these silent activities with the goal of education and helping guests develop the skills and knowledge for self-practice both on the mat and in the water. Bodhi Surf + Yoga is a place of learning, yes, but also a place of relaxation, fun, laughter, food, and community!

Pilar has been spreading her wisdom in her yoga classes for many years – and now she’s finally sharing some of that wisdom in blog-form! 🤓 👇

In her recent blog (link in our story!), Pilar introduces us to the Ayurvedic concept of Satvritti – often translated as “virtuous conduct” or “truthful movement” 🪷

It suggests that our behavior, thoughts, and interactions with others are actually forms of medicine. The lesson here is that when we choose honesty, kindness, and alignment, we are essentially performing a mental detox. We are clearing away the clutter to make room for the soul – the ultimate key to healing 🔑

If you enjoy little nuggets of Ayurvedic wisdom like this, be sure to head over to our blog (link below) – where there’s plenty more of them!

If you didn’t practice your pop-up and paddling technique on the sand, did you even come to Bodhi? 😝

Your success is our success – and as an experienced and award winning surf school (15 years in the game!), we’ve become experts at helping our students find success in the water 😎

But before we hit the water – there’s so much value in what we can learn on the sand. When teaching the paddling and pop-up technique, we always have our students practice on the beach before having to do it in the water real-time.

This eliminates some of the pressure while learning, and allows our instructors to provide tips and help you fine-tune your technique 🤓

This leads to a more positive surfing experience once you’re on a board in the water! 🏄

You’ve done the famous “Whale’s Tail Walk” here in Uvita, but have you checked it out from above yet? 🐋

There’s a popular hike here in our community known as La Union, which upon completion promises breathtaking aerial views of the sandbar shaped exactly like a whale’s tail 🤩

The hike is a pretty steep 45-ish minutes up to the viewpoint, with sections of the trail fully shaded and others more exposed to the sun. We love hiking La Union, and we recommend it to our guests when asked about hiking in the area 😎

⭐ Bodhi Pro Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid the heat! We recommend starting before 7am.

We don’t know who needs to hear this today – but even we sometimes need to be reminded of this simple but powerful message 👇

And that message is this: we just need to show up 😌

Some days we feel like we’re on top of the world, and others we feel like it’s just not going our way – we’re sure this is something we can all relate to. Some days everything clicks out in the surf and on the yoga mat. Other days, that’s just not the case.

And this is ok! It’s life. We can’t always be on top of our game, whether it’s at work, at home, or in our hobbies. But what we CAN do… is show up either way.

As much as we might like to think we can – we can’t control everything. Actually, in life we really only have FULL control over very little. But one of those things is showing up – and that alone empowers us to embrace the inevitable waves of life, and to treat ourselves with a lot more empathy and compassion 💙

So let this be your daily reminder: you won’t catch every wave that comes your way – but by showing up, you’re setting yourself up for that next wave that has your name on it 😉

Here’s a deep-ish question for you… 👇

Have you ever thought about the power of silence? 🤔 It’s funny – silence is often looked at as being awkward or uncomfortable – something we need to fill with conversation or noise.

But we’ve been learning recently that a lot of the time, silence doesn’t need to be ‘broken’. Silence is often a lot more powerful and profound than whatever it is that we come up with to ‘improve’ on the silence.

In her recent Ayurveda blog, Pilar explores how choosing silence is a radical act of self care and wisdom 😌 We learn that silence isn’t about having nothing to say – it’s about learning to quiet the need to judge, control, or fill every empty moment.

Head to the link below to learn more! Trust us – it really is a fascinating read 🤓

That feeling of standing up on a wave 🤩 What you’re seeing in these photos is the pure stoke that’s felt when you stand up on that first wave 🌊

And that stoke doesn’t end when you step off that board after riding the wave. That incredible feeling stays with you long, long after 😌

That wave sticks with you for the rest of the day – you walk with a little extra pep in your step, you feel extra productive at work, you treat yourself with extra kindness 💙

This is the magic that a singular wave can have on us ✨ This is why we love surfing, and this is why we think a whole week of it could do you a world of good!

Bungalow Espiritu is a true reflection of the simple, harmonic, and intentional way in which we’ve built Bodhi Surf + Yoga over the years 🏡

The idea for Bungalow Espiritu stemmed from our own personal travel experiences as couples: we enjoy a comfortable, quaint, and private lodging option that allows us to connect with both nature and ourselves 🙌

This lodging option comes equipped with a basic kitchenette, a queen size bed, private bathroom, and its own private porch – perfect for morning coffee ☕

Bungalow Espiritu is one of our go-to options for couples and solo travelers. If you’re ready for the Espiritu experience, head to the link in our story to book! 😁

Today we’re wishing a very happy birthday to the first face that you all meet when you join us – Wali! 😎

Wali is our friendly driver that brings our guests down here to Uvita on Sunday mornings, and takes them back to San Jose on Friday afternoons 🚌

Wali’s role is vitally important – not just because of his transportation services, but because he’s the first Bodhi face that you all meet. He is your first impression of Bodhi Surf + Yoga.

He sets the tone for the rest of your trip – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to take on this responsibility 💙

When Wali first greets you with his warm smile, you can immediately tell that it’s from the heart. His kindness and friendliness is beyond genuine – and we’re so glad that THIS is the first impression that our guests receive of Bodhi 🙌

We hope that Wali has a great day today and that everyone around him makes him feel as special as he makes everyone else feel! 🥳
