Root + Roam was created by Jess Johnson and Alyssa Pflug as a heartfelt response to a shared desire—to uplift, empower, and connect like-minded humans through adventure, mindful movement, yoga, and meaningful connection.
Intention
What began as a vision has grown into a
living, breathing community rooted in authenticity and joy.
Meet the Founders
Jess Johnson
Rooted in a deep love for nature, movement, and meaningful connection, Jessica is a guide, space-holder, and ever-curious explorer of life. Her passions for travel, yoga, surfing, snowboarding, hiking, and Reiki healing have shaped a path that is both adventurous and intentional—one that invites others to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
She believes in the power of shared experiences, the magic of community, and the transformation that happens when we step outside of our comfort zones and into presence. With an open heart and grounded spirit, Jessica creates spaces where authenticity is celebrated, curiosity is welcomed, and connection becomes the foundation for growth.
Through Root & Roam, her mission is to cultivate experiences rooted in community, adventure, and love—empowering others to explore freely, live fully, and come home to themselves.
Alyssa is a leader, teacher, deep-diver, and alchemist at heart. She is a lover of the outdoors, warmed by sunshine, drawn to beautiful, quiet places, and reconnecting people more deeply to themselves. She is also the owner of OHMGrown Yoga. Hosting retreats felt like the next right, conscious step on her path.
On retreats — and in life — Alyssa is passionate about holding space for others to settle into and become more of who they already are. Through the practices and teachings of yoga, she hopes to empower others to find their own path, with truth as a vehicle to greater freedom, and a heavy dose of humor sprinkled on top.
