Grassroots Yoga & Fitness Center is a whole body wellness center with a studio location in Carson City, NV and park and paddle board yoga events in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Owners Emilee Riggin and Brigette Pugh met teaching English at Carson High School (where Emilee still teaches) and soon discovered they had more in common than a love for books and words: a passion for yoga and sharing its many benefits.
Together, we’ve blended our backgrounds in education, mindfulness, and yoga to create a space where everyone—no matter their experience—can feel supported, curious, and empowered. Grassroots isn’t just about yoga; it’s about cultivating growth from the ground up, nurturing a community that values self-awareness, resilience, and joy. Our mission is simple: to meet people where they are and offer tools for living well, both on and off the mat.
If you like adventures that connect mind, body and spirit, join us for some flow-y fun.
