"A divine experience with inspiring yoga teachers, healthy food, beautiful surrounds and lovely people sharing the journey"
Sandra, 45, Marketing manager/Yoga teacher

“Jessie Chapman’s Yoga Retreat in Byron Bay was amazing. It’s not often that you can just hang out and do yoga for five days and eat fantastic food in unreal surroundings. I went up with my partner and we would go again without any hesitation. We met some fantastic people up there including several great facilitators who give guidance on yoga postures and enhance the experience with workshops aimed at improving your skills at leading a healthier lifestyle. If you are thinking that you want to have a break with a difference, then this is for you.”
John, 31, Chiropractor – Byron Bay Retreat

"Radiance Retreat was an exceptional experience on all levels. Such care and nuturing support from all staff. Wonderful food with soul--Thank you."
Dianne Fisher, Client Services Manager/Financial Planning

"Sunshine, good food, a beautiful location, and hours of yoga every day - it sounded to good to be true before I went and the reality was even better.  I have returned home with a lightness of spirit as well as body that enables me, as Jessie says at the end of her classes, "to turn up the edges of my mouth and smile to myself".  Radiance is certainly what it's been about for me, and each day since I have returned home I have given thanks that I was able to spend such a week exploring my mind, body and sprit in such beautiful surroundings, with the truly exceptional group of people that Jessie has gathered around her.  An experience definitely to be repeated."
Nicky, 40, Environmental Campaigner - Byron Bay Yoga Cleanse & Pamper Retreat 2011

"You have given me back years of my life. I feel energized and can cope with the challenges of my job and commitments more easily. I am waking each morning refreshed and I can’t wait to get into what the day has for me. Thankyou."
Leonie, 52, Human Resources Manager - Byron Bay Yoga Cleanse & Pamper Retreat

"I cannot thank the team of Radiance Retreat enough for the whole experience of the retreat. Yoga has changed my life. I feel so in tune with my body and mind more than ever. You introduced me to a diverse selection of food that was delicious. I have continued eating organic food and have not gone back to old habbits. I have had comments from people saying how well I look which is an extra bonus because I feel terrific. I practise yoga every morning using Jessie's dvd core strength and my back which was injured is nearly back to 100%. Thank you all for your warmth and wisdom."
 Nadine, 36 years old, teacher.
