About Your Host
I am a native New Yorker who travelled to Costa Rica for a month with the intention of picking up surfing again. I never could have anticipated experiencing a culture and meeting a group of friends so pivotal in changing my outlook on what life is about. Being there felt like an escape from the fast paced life I was used to at home.
In Santa Teresa, it doesn’t matter your age, nationality, race, or profession, everyone is included. Days were filled with sunrise surfs, midday pool hangs with new and old friends, fresh local food shared around a big table, and cold beers watching the sunset after an afternoon surf session. Bribri Surf & Yoga aims to bottle up this experience and share it with everyone who takes the plunge!
Our door is always open, so drop in and stay a while 💙

About Our Retreats
We’re kicking off with a surf & yoga focused group experience. Our retreats are all hosted at Joya Villas, luxury villas in north Santa Teresa. The villas are steps away from the beach and are places where many meals and laughs have been shared among friends. While Joya Villas are luxury villas, you will still feel the laid back energy that the Santa Teresa lifestyle provides. There is a heavy emphasis on surfing and improvement, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously, so come ready to have some fun in and out of the water.
A Local Experience
It’s not lost on me that Santa Teresa is a place I’ve come to know, but for many others, it’s the place where they grew up and that they call home. The local people are what makes Santa Teresa so special. That’s why at Bribri Surf & Yoga we aim to give you an experience that supports the local community. Our surf instructors, taxi drivers, house manager, chefs, cleaners, yoga instructor, and masseuse are all either from Santa Teresa of have been living in the town for 10+ years. We are one big family aiming to give you a sliver of the Costa Rican way!
