This inspirational yoga retreat with Jessie Chapman & facilitators combines twice daily yoga and meditation with beach walks, gourmet organic vegetarian meals & cleansing juices, a 1 hour healing massage and a beautiful natural setting for complete relaxation and renewal. Byron Bay beaches are close by and there’s plenty of time to relax around the freshwater pool, receive in-house holistic spa treatments and simply relax in the peaceful surrounds.

We stay at Sangsurya Retreat, a beautiful 10 acre retreat a just minutes drive from Byron Bay and the beaches. Sangsurya features a large wooden floor yoga space, ozone swimming pool, a relaxing dinning and lounge with coastal views and in-house massage & treatments.

Offering complete renewal for body mind and spirit, each day begins with yoga to develop a flexible, strong, healthy body, cultivating relaxed deep full breathing, inner peace and stillness. In the afternoons we gather for restoration and relaxation yoga going deeper into the experience of yoga's healing qualities.

Yoga is taught by Jessie Chapman who's inspirational classes are designed for all levels from the beginner to the more experienced practitioner. Yoga assistants give individual adjustments in the classes and special attention is given to complete beginners. Jessie has been practicing yoga since 1991 and teaching since 1996.
