What is Bodhi? | Guest Perspective of the Bodhi Surf + Yoga Camp Experience
During 2017-18, filmmaker Hannah Walsh interviewed the majority of Bodhi Surf + Yoga camp's guests who stayed for the week-long Bodhi experience in Bahia Ballena, Costa Rica. The resulting interviews were unexpected and incredible. Guests did indeed discuss their experiences doing yoga and surfing. Yet a trend emerged of impacts greater than what one would expect from just a week-long vacation: inspiration, belonging, overcoming fear, grounding, and clarity, to name a few.
Bodhi Surf + Yoga is more than just a tourism destination. It's a Certified B Corp business. It's a member of 1% For The Planet. It's a company that not only cares, but also does good.
Most importantly, it's a tribe.

A Day at Bodhi Surf + Yoga Camp | Behind The Scenes
A typical day at Bodhi Surf + Yoga camp in Bahia Ballena, Osa, Costa Rica, is a busy event indeed. It starts at 4am with Pilar's personal Ashtanga yoga practice. At 6:30am, the staff begin to arrive before to make coffee and breakfast, tidy and clean the lodge, and load up surfboards. After breakfast, Travis and Gibran take guests down to the beach for their first activity of the morning... a surf session! As the day continues, the lodge bustles with important community meetings, guest massages, and afternoon rainy yoga sessions. Sometimes, the other Bodhi owners can sneak away for an afternoon surf while all of this is happening! After the sun sets, Adrianne gets dinner (and sangria!) going, and guests and staff enjoy a lovely meal together and post-dinner games. Finally, everyone howls at the moon and then heads to bed to sleep before it starts all over the next day!
