A rejuvenating yoga retreat with Jessie Chapman in beautiful Byron Bay. Enjoy lovely beach walks & ocean swims, twice daily yoga, meditation, healthy meals & fresh juices, evening yoga nidra and other healing art classes. There’s plenty of time to relax around the freshwater pool, bathe in the ocean, receive in-house holistic spa treatments, catch up on some reading and completely relax.

The location is Sangsurya Retreat, a beautiful 10 acre property just minutes drive from Byron Bay and the beaches. It features a large wooden floor yoga space, a freshwater swimming pool with coastal views and a relaxing restaurant and lounge area. Accommodation is in lovely hand built houses and cabins, each with their own unique flavour, that surround the yoga hall and pool.

Morning yoga is taught in the fluid Vinyasa style moving from posture to posture with the deep full breathing. Afternoon yoga classes are relaxation and restoration. Other classes include meditation, core strength, inversion practice as well as nutrition and healthy lifestyle talks, yogadance, chanting and guided chakra meditation. There's yoga assistants giving personal adjustments and instruction in the classes and special attention is given to yoga beginners. For more about the yoga and teachers go to ABOUT RADIANCE. .

Due to flights people arrive at all different times in the day but aim to be there as early as possible so you have time to relax before yoga.
