Testimonials

  • “I guess the first thing I’d say is that Aikido-Yoga isn’t a sport. It isn’t about beating other people or feeling bad because I didn’t win or could have done better. It is about growing into a better version of myself with a group of people who help me and whom I help. I am certainly a different person - a calmer, more focused and healthier person for my training.” __________________________________[James Irving – Lawyer]
  • “The time I spend training in Aikido-Yoga is an investment that compounds into every area of my life. On a personal level, it has given me an awareness of my abilities and faults. It has been invaluable to my professional, social and spiritual life.” ________ [Daniel Sharp – Teacher]
  • “Amazing! There’s no end in sight. Each step I am guided on leads me to secret, hidden places I never could have imagined existed, but was right there under my nose. Thankyou Julius, you continually teach me how to listen.” ________________[Daniel Somerville – Software Developer]
  • “I joined Aikido-Yoga for a perceived set of reasons but I keep coming for a whole set of different, much more profound, reasons.” ___________ ___________________________________[Lee Stratton – Dentist]
  • “Aikido-Yoga has given me a direction to where I want to be. It inspires and challenges me spiritually, mentally and physically. The only way to understand this is to experience it for yourself.” _____________ ___________________________[Mirella Dottori – PhD – Scientist]
  • “I started Aikido-Yoga to learn and put into practice the science of guiding and developing my awareness through my body, and then the other way around. Julius is a very qualified and experienced teacher, who knows how to facilitate my journey in the best possible way.” ___________ __________________________[Serguei Levykin – Web Developer]
  • "Aikido-Yoga has allowed me to explore parts of myself that I didn’t know existed, teaching me to teach myself, and understand now what I should be doing." ________________[Martin Coomes – Psychology Student]
  • "Aikido-Yoga has started a journey of self discovery within me that has offered me more than any book I’ve ever read. It’s experiential learning methods have completely revolutionalised the way I approach my dancing. It has a special way of showing the beauty of art and life. As an artist, I realise that there are no tricks, just a constant testing of the body. However Aikido-Yoga is showing me how to move beyond the body in pursuit of a better understanding of myself and my art." ________ _____________[Kieran Courley – Dancer, Australian Ballet Company]
  • "Thanks so much for a very instructive and inspiring weekend of training. I look forward to seeing you again." __________________________ ______________________[Hugh Cann - Sydney Ki Society 3rd Dan]
  • "Dear Julius, Just a quick note to thank you for the interest, effort, support and respect that you have shown my son Cass. I'm glad he has you as a really positive male role model in his life. Regards." __________ ________________________________[Lucinda Phillips - Lawyer]
  • "Aikido-Yoga is something I love so much and I honestly feel I have found in it a “map” to guide me through life. Julius, thanks for all the time you’ve put into me both training and personal." ________ [Chris Kelly - Writer]
  • "Julius, I really wanted to thank you for treating me so respectfully and being so generous with your time when I was injured. It has been a very long time since I have felt as inspired as I do in your classes. My first instructor was a wonderful teacher and person who passed away years ago. I never thought that I would find a club that gave me the same inspiration until now." __________________[Einat Bardea - Student]
  • "If an organisation is judged by it's vision, ethos and people, then I've found one that I'm proud to be a part of." __________________ _______________________[Heath Ragg - Partner, IT Consultancy]
