Yogido™ was established in 2014 in direct response to school demand for yoga-based wellbeing training. Jessica's vision for fun and accessible yoga, that also develops key social skills, led to three successful YogiYoga™ courses, and the popular YogiLeaders™ program. These provided early years, primary, and secondary school staff with the skills and resources to deliver affordable and sustainable yoga and wellbeing activities.
A strong relationship with educators, and a responsive approach to the needs of schools, educators and children, have remained at the heart of Yogido™. With an increasing focus on student behaviour, and staff wellbeing, Yogido™ have remained proactive in providing solutions.
YogiROOTS™ provides an easy to embed approach, that harnesses the ancient powers of nature and movement, supporting our partners to make a real impact across their settings. This helps students, staff and parents/caregivers to truly thrive in learning and life.
Experience
Jessica Thomson is the Director of Yogido™.
Jessica has an absolute passion for learning and empowering others in the learning process. For over 20 years of working in Education, her infectious enthusiasm and creative flair have helped to make learning in her company dynamic and engaging. Designing educational resources and training for schools, and mentoring leadership programmes for young people, her gentle encouraging nature has a way of putting everyone at ease in her presence, creating a joyful experience.
Covid lockdown, followed by a new baby and a family move to Australia, placed Yogido™ into hibernation. But in the background Jessica continued to observe and interact with educators and families, building and adapting ideas for Yogido™’s return to supporting positive change.
As a nature loving mum of 3, the Thomson’s can often be found hiking up the hills, building dens in the forest and dunking in the sea. It is this love of nature and seeing the benefits it has for children and adults in this fast-paced world, that inspire her work.
So it is with great excitement that Yogido™ is back! Bringing its full range of well-loved colourful resources to a new market here in Australia. Plus, a brand new resource YogiROOTS™ - harnessing the ancient powers of nature and movement to help us strengthen connections, better understand our feelings and behavioural responses, and regulate our emotions.
