Austin caught glimpses of the worlds of Yoga, Meditation, and Energy Work during his late-teen years and felt a draw to it, but did little exploration.

At Little Red Yoga, he hopes to share his unique blend of modalities, insights, and experiences with the world!

Victoria “Vee” LeBlanc
Yoga Instructor
RYT200
Vee LeBlanc is a 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher. She went to her first yoga class as a senior in high school with a dear friend. It was a Kundalini class and after giggling through the whole class she took a break from yoga. Eventually she turned to an online practice off and on for a few years, where the goal was purely physical. After barely scratching the surface of yoga, in 2022 she began a more regular practice going once a week (with the same friend from high school). This gave her a better understanding of what yoga actually is, an entire way of life and not just an exercise class. Which brought her to getting her Reiki I and II certifications to further her spiritual practice. Her yoga practice blossomed from there as she watched her boyfriend graduate from his 200 hour training and begin teaching, which eventually inspired her to take her 200 hour in September of 2023. She hopes to bring a safe space for people to feel connected with mind, body, and soul. Allowing playfulness and compassion in each of her classes. She is a welcoming and grounding presence for all students.

Deb Prisco
Healing Arts, Bodywork, & Assisted Stretching Specialist
My love for body movement evolved at an early age. I was fortunate to begin dancing at age 5 with a passion that steadily progressed to a 7 day discipline. Pilates became a staple for daily routine and eventually became the root to my future endeavors.
Flexibility may be natural for a few…but not for me. I struggled for years with flexibility as a dancer. I admired the dancers with long limbs and endless flexibility that gently flowed through movements. Not for me, I had to quickly figure out ways to gain flexibility for my body to achieve the level of performance that could accompany my fellow dancers. I began studying the work of Joseph Pilates and incorporated his philosophies and practices into my conditioning routine. Dramatic improvements in my flexibility began to happen. I began to love how I felt!
Years later I became a Certified Pilates Trainer through the PhysicalMind Institute and began training clients of all fitness levels and intentions. Some were for injury prevention, post surgery rehabilitation, athletes looking to enhance their performance, as well as people interested in improvement in overall wellness. Whatever the intent, I loved seeing people feel good about how their bodies felt.
Being an educator, I recognized that we are always learning and improving. I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga on a daily basis. The poses aligned beautifully with pilates. I was fortunate to study under a yoga and pilates mentor that was trained in Thailand and learned many Thai Bodywork techniques. I had so much more to offer….
Today….I love how I have incorporated so many blends of bodywork and healing arts to create a unique Assisted Stretching experience for people. Each person’s body has different intentions and limitations and I strive to design a program based upon one’s own individual needs.

Kathleen “Kathy” Silva
Yoga Instructor
RYT200, EM Yoga Certified, Reiki I & II
I found yoga as a way to recuperate from injuries and nourish the need to keep moving. I enjoy learning and exploring different styles of yoga and have practiced various formats since 2013. Continuing my exploration in the practice of yoga, I completed my 200 hour YTT through Ebb & Flow Wellness on January 2020.
I thrive on challenge and love bucket lists. Like the hummingbird, journeying with joy and playful tirelessly pursuing the nectar of each life experience. My philosophy that you are never too old to try something new; lead me to enroll in a tap dancing class, complete several Tough Mudders, Spartan Course, Fun Runs and 10Ks. I also enjoy the creative arts such as creative journaling, reading, hiking, crafting, knitting, and drumming.
I became a Registered Nurse in 1986 as a results of my love of health and healing in service to others. I am blessed with a great marriage partner, family gatherings are an important source of support; as are intimate friendships. I am blessed that my life has crossed paths with many helpful guides who have aided in deepening my spiritual connection and finding my inner spark.
Practice of movement, challenges, quiet stillness to reflect on the moment with connection to breath and the internal Presence is what my yoga practice provides. The practice of pranayama and asanas weave a beautiful pattern to continued self-study and to unleash my playful side as well as my inner warrior goddess.
I aim to reignite people’s passion for play and movement, learning to accept changes by embracing them and moving forward. Adding healing elements of sound, alignment, overcoming negative self-limiting talk and embracing each moment of life as a joyful moment of connection, is what you can expect from my classes.
Always busy as a bee – I embrace the spirit of the Bee ! Learning to move past limitations, by focus and determination. Pollinate positive energy by stoking the inner Divine fire, and sharing the gift of joy, love and compassion in service to self and others. This is the gift of the hive! I invite you to do the same.
My mantra is “Nurture your miracle body, heart and soul.”
