Join us for a joyful weekend of yoga, meditation, and dharma talks with Robert Thurman, John Campbell, and Jamie Bonelli as we immerse in the transformative practices of Vajrayoga™.

Vajrayoga™ is Tibet House US’s school of yoga and inner science, integrating the physical and meditative disciplines of both Indian and Tibetan traditions. Rooted in wisdom teachings, these practices are designed to uplift the mind—from stress to joy—while opening the body to vitality, balance, and inner freedom.

During this immersive weekend you will experience:

  • Morning meditation, pranayama, and Tibetan healing yoga
  • Dharma talks and guided meditation with Robert Thurman and John Campbell, drawing from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and the great Buddhist yoga tantras in the tradition of Nāgārjuna and other masters
  • Afternoon Hatha Yoga practices with Jamie and John to open the body and subtle energy systems
  • Evening yoga nidra, kirtan, and other restorative practices for deep rest and integration

All levels are welcome. Modifications will be offered to support those with injuries or physical limitations.

A Living Wisdom Tradition

Unlike a traditional academic approach, Vajrayoga teachings invite you into a living lineage of inner transformation. At the heart of this tradition is the relationship between teacher and student, where presence, reflection, and inquiry awaken authentic growth.
