Tibet House US: Vajrayoga

Come learn a yoga practice to strengthen your body, enliven your nervous system, and explore your subtle inner world. Classes provide instruction in breathing-and-movement practices as a foundation for seated meditation. Inspired by themes of the Tibetan and Indian tantric and yogic traditions, sessions are designed to increase bodily strength, flexibility, health and wellness, while cultivating intuition of the subtle energetic and neural systems, concentration and mindful awareness.

Classes teach yogic methods designed to remove psycho-physical toxins through awakening the body’s natural intelligence and healing capacity. Through heightened awareness of the energetic body, students further begin to connect with the loving nature of the mind and to find relief from ego-centric rigidity. The synthesis of transformative methods explored in these classes—what we are calling Vajrayoga—is itself the point of departure for the more advanced contemplative practices and energy systems.

*all levels welcome

*sessions include individualized instruction in contemplative  breathing-movement practices followed by guided meditation

*Vajrayoga at Tibet House is a non-denominational and non-sectarian synthesis of yogic techniques derived from the Tibetan and Indian tantric and yogic traditions

Jamie Bonelli

VISIT WEBSITE

Jamie was born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC and has been practicing yoga in the city for over 20 years.
Jamie views the physical asana practice of yoga as a place to expand the limitations of the human mind. Both in finding joy in breaking perceived physical boundaries and also by being loving, gentle and accepting of oneself when coming up against challenge.
Jamie has practiced the entire old ashtanga yoga asana syllabus and up through the 4th series in the more current structure.
In the past few years she has become increasingly interested and practiced mantra meditation and chanting from the Vedic tradition. Jamie has guided Yoga Nidra meditation for over 10 years.
She graduated with honors from Fordham University studying both media and comparative religion.
She still lingers with the question that led her college studies of how war can be fought over religious reasons and how can it be prevented. Jamie still resides in NYC with her two vivacious daughters.
