atha yoga & surf retreat

March 22nd - March 29th, 2026 • Imsouane, Morocco

This retreat is an invitation to immerse fully — in movement, stillness, the rhythm of the ocean, and connection to yourself, nature, and community.

This is the 5th edition of this atha yoga & surf retreat, hosted by Billie Bonita with additional classes led by Liza Patzelt.

Surfing is about surrender. When you fully embrace the present moment and let go, you tap into a deeper sense of connection, peace, and aliveness — the feeling of pure joy.

In the ocean, trusted surf coaches will guide you in catching waves and building confidence — whether you’re new to surfing or deepening your practice.

Not into surfing? No problem – there are also yoga-only packages. Just reach out if you're interested.

Meet your host

Billie Bonita

Billie (@billiebonita) is the founder of @athayogasurf and will be leading the yoga practice during the week. Billie began her yoga practice over 13 years ago.

She completed a 200-hour Vinyasa Training in Bali in 2020 and a 300hour Ashtanga Vinyasa Apprenticeship at PRACTICE Yoga in Berlin. She also trained as a Level 1 Pranayama Teacher with Eddie Stern & Robert Moses and completed a Core Mat Pilates Teacher Training.

Through teaching, she wants to pass on what yoga means to her: “Yoga for me is a deeper journey to myself, and through that, a deeper connection to each other and with all that surrounds us“.

Billie has worked many years in Berlin’s music industry and enjoys incorporating her passion for music into her teachings.

Expect a dynamic, but grounding flow focusing on the breath as a tool to connect you to the now.

Yoga

Lisa Patzelt will join as a second yoga teacher for the dates in November.

Lisa's yoga practice is an integral part of her daily life. She understands yoga as a path that offers the opportunity to dive deep within ourselves to experience healing at a physical and mental level.

In her classes Lisa aims to create a holistic experience for students and incorporates a slow warm up to feel into the body, asana practice, mindful hands-on-assists, meditation and breathing practices, yoga philosophy and a well-selected playlist.

Lisa completed a 300h Ashtanga Vinyasa Teacher training and a 4-month apprenticeship in Berlin.
