Bodhi Surf + Yoga

Since 2010, Bodhi has been both a surf and yoga school. Originally founded by three surfers and a yogini, it only seemed natural to utilize all of their core competences to build an amazing place from.

More than ten years later, it has become abundantly clear that surfing and yoga not only go well together, but are a perfect match in every way, and both benefits guests’ learning of the other.

Surfing and yoga: better together

After five years of being in business and working with countless individuals and groups, the team at Bodhi made some pretty insightful discoveries. Guests simply benefitted from combining the two together.

The magic number is five

Five surf lessons and five yoga classes really turned out to make all the difference. The learning process accelerated, students became more relaxed and minds seemed to clear up much easier. True learning moments are scarce the way we live nowadays, but Bodhi Surf & Yoga has the necessary impact that allows surfing students and budding yogis to really be taught and create a lasting foundation to build on in the future.

Becasue of this revelation, you may find the instructors at Bodhi Surf & Yoga a little hesitant about single surf lessons or one-time yoga sessions, because they know that only a fraction of the essentials can be taught in a day. And why not commit?

Whether your most pressing desire is either learning to surf or improving your yoga practice — Bodhi Surf & Yoga encourages you to try both and commit to doing a full week of Bodhi Sessions.

How Surfing can benefit your yoga practice

There are many lessons to be learned in nature, and the ocean itself is a veritable classroom when it comes to aggregating knowledge.

Since the process of learning to surf has everything to do with being in the ocean, harnessing its power, and learning to let go, its lessons translate greatly to life.

There are several benefits that relate directly to your yoga practice (which is actually designed to be more mental than physical), and most relate to the fact that surfing is the perfect place to put what you’ve learned on the mat into action in an uncontrollable environment.

How Yoga can benefit the process of learning to surf

There isn’t much in life, physical or mental, that yoga doesn’t enhance.

For one thing, it has amazing physical and physiological benefits, with practitioners seeing an increase in strength, flexibility, stamina, and balance.

Even more valuable are its mental and spiritual benefits. The true, ancient yoga practice was actually much more mental than physical, and highlighted a great many “golden rules” in such a way that was more about self-reflection than self-reproach.
