With an abundance of Yoga Teacher Training Courses on the market choosing what course to study can become daunting. Aligning Health have developed a premium Yoga Training Course to reintroduce the traditional teachings of Yoga by applying the philosophies and practices of Ayurveda.

Their mission it to train yoga teachers skilled in designing classes to include not only the physical postures but also how to work with the energies in the environment and teach according to the needs of the individual in group classes. ‘Yoga was traditionally taught one-on-one giving the students greater insight into their practice. Their course shows how to work with groups and still give individuals the attention they require to grow their practice. Some of our

“Some of our teacher use Ayurvedic body therapies like self-massage, life-style advice and cooking tips to help students make deeper connections”, says Sarah, course owner and Principal of 10589NAT Diploma of Ayurveda Yoga Teaching.

A unique component of the Yoga teaching course is the emphasis on nutrition. ‘My yoga students would often ask me about their diet. Evening classes make it challenging to work out when to eat. Our Yoga Teacher Training Course prepares potential yoga teachers with high levels of skill to make a dietary analysis for their yoga students,’ says Sarah.

Developing a style of Yoga training to meet national standards has not been an easy journey. The owners of Aligning Health Sarah and Zelko lived for two years in a caravan with their three young children on their 20-acre property on the outskirts on Bendigo waiting for their dream retreat and training centre to be built. Sarah recalls writing the course until the early hours of the morning in the makeshift bathroom while the family slept.

‘As a mum I understand the value of good nutrition. As a Yoga teacher I have furthered my practice by eating good food that supports my body and mind. The desire to see my family enjoy good food has been my motivation to keep going in the hard times’, says Sarah.

Aligning Health now have a course that is not only nationally accredited but is also recognized by the peak body of Yoga in Australia, Yoga Australia. Teachers in the course include local and high profile Yoga Teachers and Ayurveda Doctors around Australia. Students from all around Australia study the course and come to the newly develop Aligning Health Retreat Centre for practical training. This Australian initiative brings together two age-old sciences helping to re-establish balance with the physical whilst supporting the growth towards a more meaningful experience.

Aligning Health are course owners of the 10579NAT Diploma of Ayurveda Yoga Teaching delivered with RTO 30798. They also own the newly developed Aligning Health Retreat in Axedale.

Now in their 24th year, the Telstra Business Awards showcase and celebrate the achievements of the state’s most brilliant small and medium sized businesses. As one of Australia’s leading student management software providers, aXcelerate has been recognised for it’s dedication to the training industry and it’s development of a breakthrough e-learning integration aimed at providing training organisations with more accessible e-learning content.

aXcelerate was initially developed as an internal system for the company VM Learning, which specialises in delivering professional development and accredited training courses across Australia. The system was built to assist VM Learning manage and organise their training coordination and government requirements. However, the company made the executive decision to commercialise this system when Managing Director Reay Mackay, realised there no current system on the market like VM’s; a system which can facilitate the management, government reporting and coordination of running a training company.

aXcelerate was launched in 2009 and was defined by Reay Mackay as a ‘leap of faith’, because despite having 20 plus years experience in the training industry and faith in their product, VM Learning had little to no experience in selling software. However, after careful research, product development and an unrelenting commitment to customer service, aXcelerate has more than doubled it’s market share, acquired global clients such as Cotton On and Audi and made significant traction within the e-learning sphere.

During the last year aXcelerate have become an official partner of Rustici Software, who have created the latest specification for learning technology; the Tin Can API. The Tin Can API has been defined as the ‘next generation e-learning standard’ because of it’s ability to collect data from a wider range of learning experiences a person has (both online and offline). Very different systems used for learning purposes such as simulations, virtual worlds, mobile learning, experiential learning and games are all able to be recognised, captured and shared via the Tin Can API on smart phones, tablets and desktops.

The integration aXcelerate have developed with Tin Can API, enables training companies to launch Tin Can compliant e-learning courseware directly from aXcelerate and aXcelerate is one of the first Australian companies to partner with and utilise this technology. This integration removes the need for training companies to go through an external learning management system to build e-learning content, saving them significant time and money. More importantly, the flexibility in the types of e-learning the Tin Can API provides, ensures that a greater variety of content can be developed to suit the unique learning needs and capabilities of students.

Reay Mackay says the aXcelerate team are honoured to be included in the Telstra Small Business category.

“We feel aXcelerate is now emerging as a market leader and is now able to make significant contributions to the e-learning space within Australia; to win the Telstra Small Business award would not only reward our team’s hard work but also cement this leader status.

The award recognition will also assist greatly in both our promotional efforts and furthering aXcelerate growth,” he said.

Winners of the 2016 Telstra Queensland Business Awards will be announced on Friday 15th of July, at the Brisbane City Hall.
