About Root & Roar Yoga
Our Story in Brief
Root & Roar Yoga was born from both a personal journey of healing and a deep commitment to family. Founder Jordan Concannon first turned to yoga and mindfulness as a way to recover, rebuild, and nurture her own well-being. But it was through practicing alongside her young son that she discovered the most powerful truth: these practices aren’t just for adults — children need them too.
Watching her son grow calmer, more confident, and more connected after yoga and mindfulness sessions, Jordan felt called to share these same benefits with other children and families. What started as a practice in her own living room quickly grew into a mission to bring wellness into classrooms, libraries, parks, and community spaces across the Omaha metro.
At its heart, Root & Roar Yoga is about equipping kids with tools for a lifetime — teaching them to breathe through challenges, find balance in stressful moments, and feel rooted in who they are. And just as importantly, it’s about supporting parents, teachers, and caregivers with accessible strategies that extend beyond each class.
For Jordan, it’s not just business. It’s a legacy for her son — and a way to build a more mindful, loving, and resilient generation of children.
