This workshop is a comparative exploration of ethical thought and practice on the Buddhist and Yoga paths according to, respectively, Shantideva’s Guide to an Awakened Life and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, both masterpieces of the Indic inner sciences. What is karma, and how do mental and physical actions relate to our experience in the world? What does behavior have to do with cultivating habits of mind, and how do either of these transform the way we experience the world? Through lectures and practice sessions, the workshop engages such fundamental issues relating to the purpose of yoga.

In Friday’s lecture, renowned scholar of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism Bob Thurman addresses the topic of ethics described by Patanjali and Shantideva. Observing that both the Brahminical Patanjali and Buddhist Shantideva embrace the possibility of attaining a state of freedom from our root pathologies of attraction, egoism, aversion, and dysfunctional reactivity, Thurman shares profound insights about how the path out of individual suffering is simultaneously described as a path to being the agent of well-being for others. These themes weave throughout Saturday and Sunday’s additional lectures and practice sessions, including guided meditation, vinyasa-based yoga sessions, and Tibetan healing yoga.

Chairs are provided as needed for the Friday night lecture and meditation. Saturday’s yoga practice session involves active movement, so please dress accordingly. All practices can be adapted for students with physical limitations. Yoga mats are provided.

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.
