About Jessie Chapman

The mental and physical benefits she gained during these first classes inspired her to continue exploring yoga. She went on to study yoga with many leading teachers in various yoga styles including Iyengar, Hatha, Vinyasa, Remedial, Relaxation, Partner and Ashtanga yoga. Based in Byron Bay Australia, Jessie runs the popular ‘Radiance Retreats’ in Australia, Bali, Thailand & France.
