Bodhi Surf + Yoga
Bodhi Surf + Yoga is a purpose-driven, small-group surf and yoga retreat in Uvita, Costa Rica, founded on the philosophy that 'Small is Beautiful.' Operating for over a decade, the lodge welcomes a maximum of just 10 guests per week in an intimate, jungle-to-sea setting. The retreat offers 7- and 14-day immersions combining surfing instruction in the protected waters of Marino Ballena National Park, yoga practice in an open-air jungle shala, nature immersion in a region holding nearly 5% of the world's biodiversity, and authentic community connection with local Tico culture.

The experience is calibrated for beginners through experienced surfers, solo travelers, couples, and families. Rather than promising 'transformation,' Bodhi creates conditions for guests to slow down, move their body, connect with others, and pay attention—making friends out of strangers and treating guests like family. The operation reflects a deep commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and respectful engagement with the local community, viewing the business as a force for positive change rather than a commercialized product.
