Byron Bay Wellness Retreat Hosts
Your Byron Bay wellness retreat is hosted by Jessie Chapman and the experienced Radiance facilitators. With over 28 years of yoga teaching and 25 years of leading Radiance Yoga Retreats in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, and Europe, Jessie brings a wealth of experience to each retreat. She is the author of four yoga books (published by HarperCollins), including the bestseller Yoga Postures for Your Body, Mind & Soul, and co-creator of the Radiance Yoga DVD Series. Jessie is passionate about sharing the transformative power of yoga and creating powerful retreat experiences that allow guests to deepen their practice while being inspired by beautiful, natural surroundings.

Yoga, Restoration & Stillness
Our wellness retreats in Byron Bay are designed for everyone — whether you’re new to yoga or have an established, dedicated practice. With Jessie’s years of teaching experience along with the Radiance facilitators, each participant is individually supported and encouraged, with practices adapted to meet your energy levels, physical condition, and personal needs.
Morning yoga sessions begin with joint-loosening, full-body limbering, and gentle flowing sequences, before settling into longer-held postures that cultivate flexibility, strength, balance, correct alignment, and awareness. Afternoon restorative yoga classes are all about deep relaxation — slowing the systems of the body, calming the mind, overcoming fatigue and replenishing natural energy supplies. Restoration yoga naturally cultivates relaxed full breathing and inner stillness.
Throughout the retreat, Jessie and the Radiance team offer nourishing hands-on adjustments, personalised guidance, and a nurturing environment where you’ll feel completely cared for on your yoga journey. All yoga sessions weave in relaxed breathing, pranayama, and natural stillness practices. Each day includes optional guided beach and nature walks, pre-lunch restorative yoga and core strength classes, guided sitting and walking meditations, sound healing journeys, and evening yoga nidra — a lying-down guided relaxation to support deep, restorative sleep. We keep our Byron Bay yoga retreats group size small, so you can truly relax, recharge, and reconnect.

Guided Beach & Nature Walks
Byron Bay’s stunning coastal and subtropical rainforest trails are just a short walk from our retreat centre and each day, there’s the opportunity to join a guided walk to the nearby beach and tranquil tea tree lake. One retreat morning, we travel by mini bus to the start of the Cape Byron Lighthouse Walking Track to explore the scenic loop trail, often spotting dolphins along the way, with the option for an ocean dip. Our 6-night NYE Retreats also include an optional afternoon walk along the breathtaking Broken Head track, known for its picturesque beach coves. All of our retreat walks include periods of walking in silence, allowing you to fully absorb the beauty and sounds of all around. We also weave in gentle silent walking meditations at the retreat centre.
Organic Passion Meals
Our wellness retreat meals are lovingly prepared by the Organic Passion catering team using fresh, organic, plant-based ingredients. The menu is abundant, energising, and always a highlight of the retreat. Free from meat, dairy, wheat, cane sugar, processed and oily foods, the meals gently support cleansing and renewal, without leaving you hungry. Each morning after yoga, we enjoy a fresh juice and a vibrant buffet breakfast. Lunch is another generous buffet, and dinner is a nourishing soup to support restful sleep. Throughout the day, fruits, beverages, lemon, ginger, filtered water, apple cider vinegar and spirulina are available for extra nourishment and hydration. All meals are vegan and gluten-free, with special dietary needs catered for with advance notice. Guests can dine in the dining room, on the ocean-view deck, or in the quiet marquee for silent meals. Anthea, the creator of Organic Passion and author of two bestselling vegan cookbooks – available to purchase on retreat or in the Radiance online store – also hosts a cooking chat and demonstration during the retreat, sharing her love of organic food and answering questions.
