Ashtanga Yoga Crete
Light of Jyotish is an approach to understanding time, life patterns, and inner rhythms through the symbolic language of Vedic Astrology (Jyotish).
It is not a system of fixed prediction or predetermined fate.
Instead, it offers a way to observe tendencies, cycles, and timing as a living flow rather than a fixed outcome.
This work is rooted in clarity and observation, not in certainty or control.
The intention is simple: to support awareness instead of dependence, and to cultivate understanding instead of fear.
In this approach, astrology is used as a symbolic language, while inner awareness remains the most direct point of reference.

Astrology in Daily Life
Astrology has accompanied humanity since ancient times and serves as a way of observing life and its many expressions.
Through this perspective, we can more clearly understand aspects of our daily life such as body constitution, nutritional needs, habits, and other dimensions of our experience.
Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), when approached with simplicity and combined with the wisdom of Ayurveda and the practices of Yoga, can become a practical tool for shaping a more balanced daily routine that supports health and well-being.
These three traditions are deeply interconnected, forming a holistic approach that relates to the body, the mind, and the overall experience of life.
Astrology is often misunderstood as a method of prediction or as a source of ready-made answers. However, its true role is not that. Instead, it can serve as a point of reference a supportive direction within the flow of life.
Real change arises through direct personal experience, consistent practice, awareness, and the conscious use of the time we are given.
A session can be approached as a simple and meaningful meeting, offering clarity and practical guidance.
When integrated into a balanced lifestyle, this approach can support daily life on many levels.
To better understand its function, we can think of astrology as a weather forecast: it does not control the conditions, but helps us prepare. If rain is expected, we cannot stop it but we can take an umbrella.
To prepare an astrological chart, the time, date, and place of birth are important. The more accurate the information, the clearer the understanding of life cycles and periods can be.
When this information is not available, a more approximate approach can be taken through observation of physical characteristics and significant life events, allowing for a more aligned interpretation.
My Relationship with Vedic Astrology
From an early age, I remember being fascinated by the universe wondering what lies beyond it and feeling drawn to every light in the night sky.
I was deeply moved by the sense that the planets we see are only a small part of a living universe, and that this vast universe is just a fragment of something infinite.
During the dark nights around the new moon, I remember gazing at the sky in awe. I felt that we are not alone that those lights above carry a presence of their own.
Especially in southern Crete, far from city lights, this experience became even more intense. There, I would lose myself in the vastness of the stars.
My first steps into astrology came through books that were available at home. I read them with enthusiasm and tried to apply what I learned with friends and classmates.
As I grew older, astrology moved into the background, but it never truly left. It remained like a quiet, wise companion.
Around the age of 25, I traveled to India in search of something more meaningful. There, I reconnected with an inner voice that had always been present my relationship with music.
I began studying Indian classical music in Varanasi, learning to play the sitar. Music became the center of my life, and I feel deep gratitude for those years of dedication.
Even though music absorbed much of my energy, my inner connection with astrology remained alive.
On a later journey to India, my music teacher introduced me to Margaret Mahan from Canada, who had been studying Vedic Astrology for many years.
Through her, I was introduced more deeply to Jyotish a broader science that includes astrology, astronomy, observation of the body (such as physical traits), and healing-oriented practices.
She encouraged me to begin with the fundamentals. Alongside music, I gradually made space for astrology learning to create charts, study planetary influences, and share this knowledge with friends.
What touched me most deeply was the sense of light this knowledge brought into my life. Relationships, events, and timing began to make sense within a greater order.
This understanding gave me a quiet trust in the flow of life.
The following year, I came into contact with my teacher in Vedic Astrology, Ram Kumar Mehrotra, who comes from a family that has practiced this tradition in Varanasi for five generations.
For the next seven years, I spent meaningful and valuable time close to him, within the daily environment of his work observing, learning, and understanding how this knowledge is applied through countless real-life examples and his guidance.
At the same time, my yoga practice and a more conscious way of living became more stable, creating an essential foundation.
