Yoga for Kids.
Calm for Families.
Confidence for Life.
Our Story
Welcome to Root & Roar Yoga—where movement meets mindfulness and children grow strong from the inside out.
At Root & Roar Yoga, we believe that every child deserves the chance to feel calm, confident, and connected in their body—and in the world around them.
What began as a passion for sharing yoga with kids has grown into a mission-driven movement: to bring accessible, empowering, and joy-filled yoga to children everywhere, whether they’re learning from home, sitting in a classroom, recovering in a hospital, or navigating life with extra challenges.
We offer:
-
In-person and live Zoom classes for schools, families, and organizations
-
Pre-recorded video classes available through our website and YouTube
-
Specialized outreach for underserved and adaptive communities—including pediatric hospitals, physical therapy clinics, shelters, and community centers
Our goal is simple but powerful:
To meet children exactly where they are—with movement, mindfulness, and emotional support that helps them grow strong from the inside out.
Unlike many other kids yoga brands that focus solely on studio-based classes or fun poses, Root & Roar Yoga takes a trauma-informed, holistic, and inclusive approach. Our programming is intentionally calming, sensory-sensitive, and designed to support the emotional wellness of every child, not just their flexibility or physical skills.
We don’t just teach yoga—we create safe, meaningful spaces where children can build self-trust, express themselves freely, and discover the quiet power of their breath and body.
Wherever they are in the world, we bring yoga to them.
Who’s Behind Root and Roar Yoga?
Teacher -
Jordan Concannon
Hi! I’m Jordan—the founder of Root & Roar Yoga, a certified 200-hour yoga teacher, certified kids yoga instructor, and working towards my 500-hr yoga certification.
You’ll often see me at the library or around town with my own little one—an adventurous little boy who inspires everything I do. I’m so excited to offer these free yoga sessions to our community this summer.
I created Root & Roar Yoga because I believe every child deserves a space where they feel calm, grounded, confident, and truly seen.
I’ve spent the past year studying yoga, mindfulness, child development, and trauma-informed teaching so I can offer classes that go far beyond physical poses—they’re about presence, breath, self-awareness, and emotional strength.
Whether I’m leading a calming bedtime routine online, guiding a group of giggling kids through animal poses in a classroom, or designing adaptive yoga experiences for hospitals and PT centers, my focus is always the same:
-
connection over perfection
-
heart over hustle
-
and presence over performance.
I’m not here to teach kids how to be quiet—I’m here to help them discover the quiet already inside them.
Rooted in calm. Roaring with confidence.

🧘♀️ Kid-Centered, Not Just Kid-Friendly
Every class is thoughtfully designed with children in mind—age-appropriate poses, themes, and playful guidance that respects how kids learn and grow.
🎧 Low-Stimulation & Gentle
No flashing lights or loud chaos here. We use soothing props, calm cues, and grounded routines to help kids feel peaceful and focused.
🌿 Nature-Based & Screen-Free
Our classes happen outdoors, under the trees—not on a screen. We reconnect kids with nature, movement, and mindful play in a sensory-friendly space.
🦁 Built on Confidence & Connection
Every class encourages self-love, imagination, and bravery. We celebrate each child’s inner roar—whether that’s through a strong pose or a quiet breath.
🎨 Rooted in Mindfulness, Not Just Movement
We focus on more than flexibility—we teach kids how to breathe through big emotions, regulate their energy, and feel safe in their bodies.
👩👦 Created by a Local Mom Who Gets It
Root and Roar Yoga was founded by a fellow parent who’s been through tantrums, transitions, and trying to stay centered while raising a little human. You’re not just joining a class—you’re joining a community.
