Jonas Over

Jonas was born in Germany and read Milarepa’s life story at the age of ten. Jonas was fascinated by Milarepa’s quest to achieve enlightenment, as well as his main practices of Chakrasamvara and Tummo. Since then, Jonas has practiced in various lineages of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and has also explored and learned other methods and traditions, such as Shamanism and various Breath and Bodywork systems. He has completed several teacher trainings in the fields of Breathwork, Yoga, and Qi Gong.

Jonas lives in Ireland with his wife Gosia Over, a psychotherapist. Both Jonas and Gosia have authorization from Lama Glenn Mullin and Lama Jhampa Shaneman to transmit and teach Vajrayana practices such as the Six Yogas of Naropa. Together they run Vajra Mandala, a Vajrayana Buddhist Sangha, whose activities and programs are mainly focused on international online teachings via Zoom and various online teaching platforms, as well as in-person retreats in Europe and America.
