Sat Nam 🙏 If you've been wondering who’s behind this page, here’s a look at who I am and why I do what I do.
I’m Julia Manko, a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Western Astrologer.
I started practicing yoga as a teenager and spent years searching for my style — exploring Hatha, Ashtanga, and Iyengar. But I was always looking for something deeper than just physical asanas.
Everything changed in 2015 when I tried Kundalini for the first time. I believe it was a heart center kriya, and I still remember that overwhelming feeling of awe: "So this is how you can feel after yoga!"
I've been teaching since 2017, trained by Guru Rattana — a direct student of Yogi Bhajan — and Parvinder Singh, a traditional Indian master of Naad Yoga, the yoga of sound.
Guru Rattana’s training included a module on basic astrology, which sparked my interest in the field. That foundation helped me accept qualities in myself that I had previously tried so hard to change. I realized they weren't flaws—they were my nature, and more than that, my strength. I felt a deep pull to share this realization with others.
To deepen my knowledge, I enrolled in Pavel Andreev's school in 2019 and began practicing as an astrologer in 2021.
Yoga and astrology complement each other perfectly. Astrology provides the vector, answering questions like "Who am I" (in this lifetime) and "Why am I here?". Meanwhile, yoga provides the energy for change, helping to rewrite negative patterns and developing mental clarity and intuition.
I help people who feel stuck, disconnected, or curious about something deeper — through classes, private sessions, and natal chart readings.
I've been living in Tbilisi for 8 years, my husband and I moved here as we fell in love with the city. Our daughter Layla was born here, we also have a dog called Shiro.
Except yoga and astrology, I am passionate about art, music, hiking and psychology.
