While the rest of Australia permed their hair\, listened to Wham! and waited for hoverboards\, Greg Wilkinson started an accounting software company. One man\, one maxed-out credit card and one loan against a busted-up Holden Commodore. Those were the humble beginnings of Reckon. Today\, they’re one of Australia’s leading business technology providers\, listed on the ASX and employing 300 talented folk all over the world. Over the last 30 years\, we’ve seen and lodged it all. Floppy disks. The first computer spreadsheet. Fax machines and the rise of online accounting. We were there for GST and Single Touch Payroll. We tallied receipts on dial-up and explored the new world of Open Banking. It’s been a wild ride. But through it all\, Reckon has always helped businesses manage change – the expected and the unexpected. That’s our mission. Whatever happens next\, whatever the future holds\, we’ve got your business’s back. Register Now to join for FREE!This event is FREE for non-members also.

About the EventTeaching beginners Yoga is both a skill and an art. Any Yoga Teacher will come across beginner students in their vocation. Often\, as a new teacher we start our career teaching beginners. Should you put them at the back of the class and tell them to follow? Or should we (as teachers) develop our knowledge to teach them correctly and safely\, so they actually learn how to practice yoga? Teaching beginners is challenging because they have not acquired any knowledge OR their perception of yoga is limited to what they have been seen; via social media for example. As teachers\, we need to remember what is actually like to be a newbie\, each student attending a class for the first time will have their own expectations\, assumptions or past experiences to take into consideration. Join Jacqueline Brumley & Shimon Tchobutaru (Registered Senior & Level 2 Yoga Australia teachers) on this unique workshop where you will be guided on how and what to teach beginners. The 3-hour workshop is both practical and theory based. Agenda:Welcome & Introductions– with talk on the topic of “how the teach beginners”.\n\nHandout on the Yoga asanas and basic practices beginners should learn to build a sound foundation in learning Yoga.\n\nSequencing the practices so beginners learn systematically.\n\nHow to teach beginners about body awareness.\n\nTeaching 2 mock classes: 1. where everyone is a beginner and 2. Where there are beginners in an on-going class.\n\nHow to teach with clear\, concise information and not overload beginners with too much information. Teach with “bite size information”.\n\nTeaching beginners the full Yogic breath.\n\nBasic relaxation techniques.\n\nQ & A.What to Bring:Mindful AF Yoga Studio in Emerald will have blocks\, yoga mats and straps to use during this event. You are welcome to bring you own if you prefer. Bring your own water bottle\, wear comfortable loose clothing. There are cafes within walking distance as well as street parking available on the main road. Additional parking can be found at the Hills Hub (5 min walk) or Ritchies IGA parking (5 min walk).

Ondine Savage has been a yoga teacher for 18-years\, runs her own studio and had other teachers working for her. She has observed how teachers talk about money\, including what they charge for classes\, workshops and retreats\, and often it’s coming from a scarcity mindset. This event will help to unpack this a little more giving perspective around what it means to value your worth and how to charge appropriately for your services. About the PresenterI’m Ondine\, a lover of travel\, amazing food\, great books and of course yoga. I was born in New Zealand and started life as a classical musician\, graduating from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Music Performance degree. After dedicating years practicing in confined spaces\, I decided to lay down my flute\, pack up my bags and head over to the UK to spread my wings. I then devoted five years of full-time study at the Dharmâlaya Ashram in Granada\, Spain. I trained in orthodox and traditional disciplines such as Hatha Yoga\, Vyayam Yoga\, Vedic Dharma\, Ayurveda\, Meditation & Vedanta. Awakened Soul Yoga (formally known as Hatha Yoga Sydney)\, began when I returned to Australia after spending time learning yoga in Rishikesh\, Northern India. It began as a boutique yoga studio in Redfern in 2011\, and 13 years later is now an online yoga education sanctuary. I’ve been teaching for 18 years\, ten of which have been dedicated to facilitating stunning yoga retreats both nationally within Australia but also internationally in Bali\, Tonga and New Zealand. My teaching comes from a place of deep love and reverence for the practice\, but also a desire to support people transform their physical\, mental and emotional well being for optimal health and wellness. I encourage my students to come to their inner wisdom via the different techniques yoga offers; philosophical contemplation\, silence\, stillness\, meditation\, breath work\, yoga âsana and of course\, the immersion of all these disciplines via beautifully crafted yoga retreat experiences designed to uplift\, inspire and transform. I also mentor and support new yoga teachers beginning their teaching journey\, to navigate the world of being in business. Learning the ins and outs of running a business and helping them avoid all the common pitfalls and mistakes I made during my career. I’m now based in Bangalow\, in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

Based in Adelaide\, South Australia\, Tina embraces the path of non-dual Shaiva Tantra and guides “embodied” practices\, meditation\, meditative postural yoga\, and somatic movement practices grounded in the direct experience of the body and pointing to the direct experience of what is true. Tina is a senior teacher in two senses: she is registered with Yoga Australia as a senior teacher with over ten years of teaching experience; and she is in her senior years\, at 70 years of age.

From 1995-2001 Noah spent 7 years under the tutelage of BNS Iyengar who is currently the oldest direct student of Krishnamacarya. Then from 2002-2009 Noah practiced Hatha Yoga under VV Venkatesh. Living in Mysore\, India from 2003-2018 provided Noah with a deep immersive experience of the cultural and historical roots of Yoga. During this time he graduated 350 Yoga Teachers via intensive 30 day in-person courses in which Noah personally taught all theoretical and practical components of Teacher Training courses at the 500 Hour level. As a Yoga Therapist in clinical practice Noah incorporated his skills from the Chiropractic\, Acupuncture and Kinesiology domains to work almost exclusively with Yoga related injuries. His interest in Yoga rehabilitation led to the development of Soundmoves Yoga focussing on Physiological and Psychological approaches to practice. Currently Noah is pursuing clinical research in Yoga Therapy at the School of Medicine in the University of Adelaide. While developing the Soundmoves method certain discoveries revealed the need to validate and verify how Yoga can be optimised for therapeutic outcomes. His research focusses on the application of rhythmical breathing and movement patterns on Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback.

To find out more about Julie Gargano visit www.juliegargano.com Leah Cooper: Hi! I’m Leah. I was introduced to yoga when I was 9 years old by a speech therapist I was seeing for my selective mutism. Interestingly\, she showed me how to do the Salute to the Sun which became part of my treatment plan. This planted a seed\, and some years later when my parents were looking to start their own yoga practice\, I offered to help them find a yoga class. This was when I came across the Ryoho Yoga studio in Manly. I fell in love with this unique yoga practice which was dynamic and challenging\, and was accompanied with a dialogue about health\, based on the macrobiotic understanding of the universe. From that moment on\, I was determined to learn more about this way of health and become a yoga teacher.  Since that moment\, I have done numerous studies in yoga and macrobiotics. I completed my Ryoho Yoga teacher training with Andzej Gozpodarczyk in 2007 and then studied with Sensei Ken McLean in the art of macrobiotic counselling\, ki cultivation and ki shiatsu. I have also done further training with Janie Larmour of Zen Ki Yoga and completed a teacher trainer refresher course with Ryoho Yoga in 2021. I currently teach from my home yoga studio in Angaston in the Barossa Valley and am also the creator of The Wellbeing Room podcast and my YouTube channel\, The Centre of Ki. In my classes\, I focus on helping students release tension and stagnation from their bodies\, build core strength and back stability\, and realign their mind\, body and spirit connection through breath awareness.
