We are accepting expressions of interest for September 2025 when we will be returning to La Taillede.
The provisional dates are 11th-15th September 2025 and we plan to open for 2025 bookings once we return from this year's retreat.
Join us for our first ever yoga retreat at La Taillede in the French Pyrenees.
La Taillede is an ancient Catalan farmhouse, situated at 950m altitude, just outside the beautiful village of Corsavy in the Pyrenees Orientales region of France. Ali & Matt Cooper have beautifully renovated the farmhouse and created comfortable high-end holiday accommodation with amazing facilities.
With the secluded location, incredible mountain views and fresh air, we think this place looks rather special!
Ali & Matt run La Taillede as an eco farm and use sustainable methods to be as self-sufficient as possible. We will have the opportunity to sample some of their fresh organic produce during our stay as well as meet their friendly animals!
The local area has so much to see and do. This stunning location is perfect for outdoor activities with many routes for walking,
running and mountain biking direct from the farm. Route guides and maps are available in the accommodation. The local river has small pools ideal for wild swimming and cooling down on a warm day.
The lovely mountain village of Corsavy is walking distance with the Mediterranean coast only an hour's drive away.
We will be enjoying four nights at La Taillede (Thursday to Monday).
We want this retreat to be small and intimate so there are only a maximum of 14 places available - we suggest booking early!
If you have any questions about the retreat there are some answers to common questions at the bottom of this page,
otherwise feel free to get in touch.
Accommodation & Facilities
The accommodation is arranged into four stunning gites. Each gite has a terrace, kitchen, living area with log burner and at least one bathroom.
We will have exclusive use of the whole property during our stay including all of the facilities:
Swimming pool with large terrace and sun loungers
Sauna with cold water plunge pool
Two wood fired hot tubs
Numerous places for chilling out including meditation room, sunny terraces and hammocks dotted throughout the forest.
A local masseuse is available to book at an extra cost.
Yoga and Other Activities
Let's start with the yoga!
Every day there will be at least two sessions of yoga including Richard's signature dynamic yoga (if you know you know!), as well as Hatha, Yin and restorative yoga. There will be daily pranayama as well as yoga talks and discussion.
We will also be organising a guided walk each morning, one of which will be a 10k loop accompanied by the donkeys!
The afternoons will give you some free time to explore the local area and sample the wonderful facilities at La Taillede.
You can be as active or chilled out as you like!
Please note that this is an initial plan, the final schedule will be confirmed nearer the time.
All yoga will be taught by Richard or Kat, to get to know us click the button below:
