- Brooks Wilson
Born in Costa Rica and raised under the brilliant sun of Tamarindo Beach, Brooks Wilson is a pure spirit of life. Her path is a breathtaking fusion of the ocean's raw power and the deep, grounding wisdom of the holistic path.
Before finding her calling on the mat, Brooks lived the life of an elite athlete. She spent seven years as a professional surfer, traveling the globe as a Roxy Surf Team ambassador and proudly representing Costa Rica in several World Championships. This life, whether riding amazing waves or climbing the mango trees of her childhood, was already defined by alignment, breath, and focus—the very essence of yoga. This commitment carried over into her 17-year professional career as the Latin American sales and marketing representative for companies like Roxy & Quiksilver, Patagonia, and Skullcandy.
In 2012, after a decade of consistent practice, Brooks journeyed to the sacred source of yoga—the Indian Himalayas. Immersed in the traditional teachings of Rajadhiraja yoga, she was recognized for the depth of her spirit. Her beloved teacher, Ganga Devi, bestowed upon her the spiritual name: Bhaktimaya—one who is full of devotion and love for the Supreme Consciousness. As a 500-hour RYT instructor and Yoga Alliance member, she is committed to sharing this classical, soul-nourishing lineage, reminding us that yoga is a path for deep, conscious evolution.
Brooks is a true nurturing guide inspired by the wisdom of masters like Mariel Marmorato, Ganga Devi Grace, Noah Maze, and Marianela Ortiz. Her classes are not just physical workouts; they are artistic sequences woven with philosophical insight and body alignment awareness, creating an inspiring environment where you can finally detach from stagnation and embrace the blessing of change.
She masterfully integrates the best of both ancient and modern healing modalities:
-
Yoga: She weaves in breathwork and meditation, into various yoga styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Power, Restorative, and Yin, all enhanced by her deep understanding of biomechanics and the body's subtle energies (chakras and doshas). She knows how to modify every pose for every body, treating old injuries with profound care.
-
Sound & Vibrational Healing: In 2025, she deepened her practice by certifying as a Vibrational Therapist. She now guides powerful experiences using sound baths, tapping, aroma therapy, and Cacao ceremonies, soon to be anchored by the rich, resonant tones of her harmonium.
This unwavering devotion fuels her multitasking life today as a mother, holistic guide, and community leader. Recognizing the urgent needs of her hometown, Brooks founded Asociacion Playa Grande Sostenible in 2022. She directs this non-profit to hone a vital balance between rapid coastal development, human well-being, and environmental conservation.
Brooks is a medium for transformation who has truly lived her lessons. Her path—from the focus of a world-class athlete to the insight of a global entrepreneur and the compassion of a community founder—has given her the ability to connect. She doesn't just teach you how to move; she helps you tap into your own inner strength, leading you back to the light and potential that has been inside you all along.
