Jessie Chapmann: Radiance Yoga Retreats
Jessie is based in Byron Bay and Bali where she runs Radiance Yoga Retreats. She has written four books on yoga and is today Australia's bestselling yoga author. Jessie also writes about yoga for various magazines including Wellbeing, Nature & Health and a monthly column for Virgin Airlines in-flight magazine ‘Voyeur’. She recently released a Radiance Yoga DVD for at home practice.
Jessie teaches an inspirational form of Vinyasa yoga focussing on fullness of breath, fluid movement, building inner strength, suppleness, balance, natural alignment, vitality, stillness and presence. Jessie has drawn inspiration from many forms and styles of yoga to inspire, challenge and restore including Vinyasa; Iyengar; Astanga; Relaxation; Remedial and Partner Yoga.
She approaches her practice and her teaching with a lightheartedness that is accessible to all levels of practice and understanding adding "I'm inspired when teaching the simplicity of the postures, the breathing and the therapeutic practices to discover the healing and transformational benefits for all, each day yoga unlocks the body and frees the spirit. I see yoga as a transformational path that is ever evolving and developing. I learn from all methods and practices of yoga seeing no one way as the right way, instead I see yoga as a practical philosophy and therapy changing from day to day according to ones physical; psychological and spiritual needs at the time.”
Her Yoga Journey: Jessie grew up inland from Byron Bay amongst nature and an alternative environment. She was first introduced to relaxation yoga as a teenager when she would practice Yoga Nidra with her mother and attend Satyanada yoga classes. Later, in 1991, after returning from travels overseas where she had been practicing Tai Chi for 6months, she re-discovered yoga at her local community hall near Byron Bay. Once she felt the instantaneous benefits of yoga for her mind and body she was hooked.
Over the following years she continued to attend classes and workshops of varying yoga styles and in particular the Iyengar yoga method. In 1995 she went on to study massage and natural therapy and worked as a deep tissue massage therapist. In 1996 she was drawn more deeply into the yoga practices after a push bike accident which caused a neck injury and she chose to leave university to devote more time to her yoga practice which at that time was the thing that bought her the most peace and happiness in her life. Her teacher asked her to begin assisting him in class and she also began teaching yoga voluntarily at the local Rehabilitation Centre once a week.

It was around this time she also discovered Astanga yoga with Louisa Sear. At this time she realized becoming a qualified yoga teacher was the next step and a natural progression in her life and in 1997 she completed the Yoga Arts 9month Yoga Teacher Training Course in Byron Bay and has since studied with many great teachers which have all contributed to her own style of yoga teaching and understanding of yoga today.
