Jonas Over is an international Buddhist meditation teacher. Authorized by his teachers Lama Glenn Mullin and Lama Jhampa Shaneman to transmit and teach Vajrayana Buddhism, he has received continuous empowerments and transmissions since 2002 and undergone extensive study and practice.
His path began at the age of ten after reading the life story of Milarepa, Tibet’s great yogi, which inspired a lifelong dedication to the path of enlightenment, particularly the practices of Tummo and the Six Yogas of Naropa. Since then, he has practiced within several Vajrayana lineages while also exploring complementary traditions, including shamanism and various breath- and bodywork systems.
Jonas has trained, practiced, and taught major Vajrayana Tantras, including Chakrasamvara, Guhyasamaja, Vajrayogini, Yamantaka, Hayagriva, and Kalachakra, and has completed their qualifying retreats. As part of his Buddhist training, he has also completed the full Ngondro foundation practices (111,000 prostrations, Vajrasattva mantras, mandala offerings, and Guru Yoga recitations). Alongside this, he has completed multiple teacher trainings in Breathwork, Yoga, and Qi Gong, and developed the Energy Flow Method, which integrates these disciplines to cultivate health and vitality. Through Vajra Mandala, he offers teachings, retreats, and Vajrayana practice while also hosting teachings and events with respected teachers from different Buddhist lineages.
