‘The Seven Best Byron Bay Yoga Retreats 2023’
Radiance Yoga Retreats Byron: Since 2002, Jessie Chapman and her facilitators have led Radiance Retreats in Byron Bay, Bali, New Zealand, Spain, France, and Italy. The retreats offer a soulful blend of inspirational morning and afternoon yoga, deep rest and restoration, yoga nidra, core strength, beautiful guided walks, meditation and mindfulness practise, massage & holistic spa therapies, awe-inspiring hiking, cultural tours, and a range of other healing art classes for inspiration and renewal. The retreats are built around inspiring morning Radiance Yoga and afternoon Restoration Yoga with Jessie Chapman and the experienced Radiance facilitators. Everyone, from the absolute beginner to the more experienced practitioner, is carefully taken care of. Individual attention and adjustments are provided, yoga props are frequently used, and numerous types of postures are taught so that students can practise with ease and awareness. The morning Radiance Yoga practice begins with an inward journey of stillness and breath awareness, followed by body loosening and gentle warm up sequences moving from posture to posture with breath awareness and then holding in postures longer – sitting, standing, twisting, balancing, backwards bending, inverting, and so on – to correct postural alignment, build stability, flexibility, strength, and awareness. The afternoon Restoration Yoga Classes encourage profound rest and relaxation by allowing us to linger longer in yoga’s various therapeutic postures to restore our natural energy levels, health, and vitality.

“Your Body – full of life”
‘Yoga may be known as a relaxation tool, but it can also deliver an energy boost. Jessie Chapman, a yoga teacher and author of four yoga books on the subject, said yoga had the power to energise and transform. “One of the reasons yoga is so popular is that its benefits, such as stress release and increased energy levels, are felt instantaneously” she said. “It is also simple to practice and caters to our individual needs.” Ms Chapman says yoga provides tools for living a healthy life.
“As each day is new and different so too are our moods and perspectives,” she said. “One day we may be feeling completely inspired and focused another day totally lethargic and overwhelmed. “As we practice yoga with regularity we quickly become familiar with the various effects of the different postures on our body, mind & emotions and we’re soon are able to develop a personal practice that suits our every day needs. “This is one of the greatest gifts of yoga – the ability to heal ourselves. “If feeling dull and uninspired, over weight or sluggish, yoga postures will stimulate the bodies systems, circulation and speed up the metabolism. “Increased energy levels will be felt along with a greater sense of inspiration and motivation for life. “However, if one comes to yoga feeling exhausted, overworked, stressed, underweight or suffering from sleeplessness, the yoga postures will effect the person in such a way as to relax the nervous system, slow down the heart rate and calm the mind.” Ms Chapman advises to prepare for a total transformation beyond just a healthy body. “The postures also strengthen our mental and emotional states giving us a stronger sense of who we are,” she said. “As the postures make us more flexible our attitudes to life and those around us become more open minded and less judgemental.” Ms Chapman runs regular Radiance Yoga Wellness Retreats in Byron Bay and Bali and has released a new Radiance Yoga DVD for at home practice.

“Recovery Retreat”
Blissed-out in Byron, stress free on the Sunshine Coast or getting happy in the Gold coast hinterland, why not ‘find yourself’ in paradise
Traditionally retreat were created for monks and priests to find solitude, contemplate life and meditate. Today, the concept of retreats has embraced a far wider range of holistic modalities but finding stillness and place to simple ‘be’ remain an integral part of the modern day retreat experience. Best-selling author and founder of Radiance Retreats, Jessie Chapman, believes most people can benefit from visiting a retreat. “Retreats offer you the chance to experience a healthy lifestyle and learn the skills for maintaining this lifestyle” she said. “Today people are aware of the importance of de-stressing and being healthy, and want to focus on that to give themselves time to come back to a balanced state and to after themselves.” “On retreats, as each day goes by, people let go of work and family commitments and the many roles they have to play in life such as wife, husband, boss, employee, mother, father or daughter. “They no longer have to do or be anything and they can relish in this empty space, dropping deeper and deeper into relaxation. They re-visit their passions in life, they remember what brings them happiness and re-focus their goals for living a life that suits their potential and dreams. They also realise what is no longer serving them in life and, through strengthening on retreat, they are more able to let go of these things whether it be bad eating habits, laziness or a disempowering job or relationship.” Convinced of the virtues of a timely escape? Picture yourself on a sun drenched beach or communing with nature during a rainforest rendezvous? The right retreat will have you feeling renewed, relaxed and back in touch, but it’s important to do your research before making that booking. “It helps to first write a letter to yourself and clarify what you really need out of a retreat,” Ms Chapman said. “Not all retreats are suited to every person and it’s the responsibility of both the client and the retreat organisers to be upfront and communicate well. “Don’t be afraid to gain as much information as possible before you book. Start by finding out the place of the retreat. Are there lots of optional activities and free time and relaxation, or is the schedule packed with compulsory activities?
“Some people need motivating and a nudge, others are already pushing themselves each day and need to learn to just stop and relax, so choose the program that suits your needs. “Check the retreat caters to your level of yoga and fitness and that there’s plenty of experienced and qualified facilitators. If you have an food allergies or intolerances, check that you will be well catered for and ask for a menu plan if you have any doubts. “The location is also important for your relaxation, so find out a bit about the actual environment you’ll be staying in.” Ms Chapman said that if you did your homework, you’d be rewarded with a self-awakening experience and a sense of serenity that’s a match for any monk.”

‘Health Retreats – Escape & Recharge’ 
Jessie Chapman discovered yoga as a teenager, as she watched her mother explore relaxation and guided meditation techniques to help overcome chronic fatigue. Jessie later went on to study yoga and is a fully qualified teacher who has had four books published and a newly released DVD for at home practice. She began Radiance Retreats in 2000, when the first Radiance Yoga Wellness Retreat was held in Bali, offering people a chance to experience yoga in an exotic locale and explore local therapies. A natural progression has seen the retreats add a range of holistic therapies, and healing arts, including such things as chakra awareness meditations – and even guided nature walks. This year will see retreats in a variety of luxury locations as well as the launch of a yoga detox and cleanse retreat. Jessie said a large percentage of her clients are people that work hard and “who want holiday that offers a lasting purpose”. She said: “Participants leave with an inspired personal yoga practice, techniques on ways to relax, unwind and restore energy levels, the experience of a wide range of holistic therapies to find out what works for them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a deeper connection with that quiet inner space”. If you’ve ever thought that yoga was only for the fit and supple you’d be wrong, according to Jessie the discipline can be modified to suit physical aliments and injuries. Radiance Retreats offer a wide range of spa and healing treatments, from Reiki and deep tissue massage to sounding and breath work. This year will see the introduction of a snow yoga retreat in Victoria’s Mt Buller (obviously winter!) and several retreats on the NSW north coast as well as Bali.’

They know that by looking after their health they’ll be in a stronger position to change and grow and are consciously choosing to connect and listen within, to restore energy levels, to be healthy, to increase self awareness, to discover what brings them happiness in life and to learn tools for attaining it”…’

‘…The lovely Jessie Chapman followed with her workshop “Yoga Nidra and the Art of Relaxation. Jessie oozes love and balance and is certainly an expert on relaxation.

Since then she has taught yoga, is the author of four yoga books and the co-director of the international yoga wellness retreats, Radiance Retreats.
In this workshop, Jessie took us through the many basic postures, breathing techniques, meditations and relaxations you can do anytime, anywhere and which can calm you immediately. In everyday life we rarely allow the time to experience this deep relaxation, so important for keeping a clear mind as well as overcoming insomnia, stress, anxiety and chronic fatigue.’

and beauty and fitness treatments, not to mention a state-of-the-art gymnasium and yoga pavillion nestled in the lush jungle. Other spa destinations in the retreat include The Legian and The Chedi. Each day
starts with a yoga session run by Jessie. This is followed by spa treatments and afternoon cycle or trek through Balinese rice paddies or villages and finishes with a calming evening yoga session. ‘If you think that the week sounds totally self-indulgent, then you’re right’ says Judy ‘This retreat is a total lift, tone, shape and glow all wrapped in one…’

‘Its six in the morning and the ascending, hollow call of the coucal fills the Ayung River valley as the gentle rhythm of Jessie Chapman’s voice instructs us to inhale deeply, to exhale, to get in touch with our breathing, to empty our minds of thought. ‘That is no easy task when you are surrounded by the sounds of Bali’s most sacred river valley. But you find yourself trying as Jessie, has a presence and authority that belies her age. ‘She is, of course, instructing our group of eight in the ancient art of yoga. Today is the first lesson go our five day /four night yoga and spa retreat, a programme put together by Jessie, an experienced yoga teacher an author, and her sister, Judy Chapman, a spa and aromatherapist specialist. Their company, Radiance Retreats matches the rigorous of daily yoga with the pleasures of some of Bali’s most sensuous spa and health treatments. ‘This trip is no boot camp, nor an ascetic ashram experience. We are staying the spectacular five-star Chedi Hotel just north of Ubud. Following two nights here, we will transfer to an equaly luxurious property, The Legian, located on Bali’s southern coast. There we practice early morning yoga to the sounds of the Indian ocean waves rolling on to the beach.

‘Bali Spa’ 
‘For the Balinese, it’s not about sitting in a tub with a jet stream sensually pummelling your back. It’s not about some vacuous pursuit of beauty for beauty’s sake. It’s about a range of treatments that reflect an understanding of how inner and outer beauty are connected, and how, when we’re relaxed and happy, the bio-chemical rhythms in our bodies actually change. ‘Believe it or not, after five days doing yoga twice daily, eating fresh nutritious food, walking through rice paddies and villages of smiling children, being pampered with essential oils and natural herbs and spices, imbibing the exquisite beauty of the “Island of the Gods,” I was shinning, both from the inside and out.” ‘Best known for its surf beaches, Bali is now the health spa capitol of South-East Asia. Dressed in only a sarong, David Leser took the plunge and found what it’s like being pampered in paradise………Is there people more gentle and beautiful, an environment more lush and sensual, a hospitality more gracious and welcoming…It was day one of a five -day yoga/spa retreat to which I had been invited by Judy and Jessie Chapman, two soulful sisters from Byron Bay on NSW’s North Coast, who’d come up with an enticing idea. Combining an understanding of the physical , emotional and spiritual balance
that yoga brings to life, a keen appreciation of plants, roots, barks, leaves, flowers and fruit as a source of medicine and healing, and a respect for the time-honoured but little understood tradition of spa treatments the Chapman sisters had decided that a yoga/spa retreat in Bali was just what the new millennium was calling for. They knew in the words of Swamiji, the yoga master and humanitarian: “If you want peace in the world you first had to find peace within”. ‘And on a retreat like this, you could actually begin to bring that into your everyday life. By developing a personal yoga practice you could start to discover inner strength, willpwers, balance, co-ordination and a capacity for relaxation you never knew you had. And after you’d spent your morning doing all that, you could then get pampered too.’
