Jessie Chapman

Jessie Chapman has been teaching yoga for over three decades and is passionate about yoga as a nourishing and supportive tool for life. Her teaching is grounded in accessibility, care, and a deep understanding of the nervous system, with a particular love for restorative yoga to replenish the body, quiet the mind, and cultivate emotional stability.

In 2002, Jessie founded Radiance Retreats, offering holistic retreat experiences designed to support wellbeing on every level. She has been leading retreats in Byron Bay, Bali, New Zealand, and Europe since then, creating spaces for participants to move with ease, breathe more freely, settle the nervous system, and restore strength and vitality while enjoying nourishing food, time in nature, meaningful connection, and personal support.

At Sangsurya Retreat, Jessie offers the Byron Bay Yoga Restore Wellness Retreats, which includes hands-on yoga adjustments from Jessie and facilitators, daily guided walks, evening yoga nidra, meditation and a range of other holistic and wellness classes designed to renew body, mind, and spirit. These retreats allow participants to slow down, reset, and reconnect within Sangsurya’s peaceful natural surrounds.

Jessie brings a wealth of experience from immersive yoga teacher trainings and long-term study, meeting students where they are with practices that both support and gently challenge. She is the author of four inspirational yoga books published internationally and co-creator of the Radiance Yoga DVD series.
