YOGA TOUR GUIDE
INFINITY RETREAT
2nd to 9th October 2025
W E L C O M E
Are you in need of a break to recharge your energy and rejuvenate your mind and body?
Look no further than our specialty retreat in the most breath taking location of the Pyrenees.
Our retreats are designed to help you connect with nature, to reconnect to your body and your essence, to cultivate mindfulness, and nourish your body from the inside out.
Whether you're looking to deepen your yoga practice, learn new wellness techniques, build your strength and endurance, or simply unwind and relax, we've got a retreat that suits your needs.
We often live outside of our bodies, we even live outside of our own lives so this week is all about cultivating a deeper sense of awareness, to stop thinking about what you might still need and start appreciating the things you already have.
Expect a transformational week away, plenty of time in nature, meaningful conversations and exceptional time together with likeminded people.
Fitness classes will be based on interval training and strength training to make you feel energized and strong with a focus on re-connecting you to your body. All levels of fitness can be catered for.
All yoga and fitness sessions are entirely optional. This retreat is your time, there is no pressure and the main aim is for you to find your happy place!

With the incredible mountain views and so much space, La Taillede really is an ideal place to go to escape busy city life and take care of your body and mind.

TESTIMONIALS
I've just returned from a week's retreat at La Taillede in the French Pyrenees hosted by Audrey Buchan. I found the retreat on bookretreats.com and had no prior experience with Audrey as a host, nor retreats in general. I was a little apprehensive of what this week might entail, but I seem to absolutely hit the jackpot with this well curated week of self care.
Audrey was so kind & knowledgeable and held space for everyone with such grace. She really allowed me to get to know yoga better without feeling as though I didn't have enough experience.
I liked the chakra theme throughout this retreat and felt that it really elevated my practice and I felt a deeper connection to myself and the whole experience. Even the wonderful vegan food was themed to the chakras.
Audrey introduced various practices, including yoga several times a day, meditation, holding space for each other at the fire pit, hiking and encouraging swimming and relaxing time in the hot tub overlooking the most incredible view of the mountains.
This was my first retreat experience, and I can't praise Audrey's preparation and intention of combining all of her experiences enough. I'm grateful for her willingness to share and encourage us in many ways.
It was a truly out of this world experience, and I am forever grateful to have found Audrey's retreat and to have met these awe-inspiring women.
