Jen Bowie
Yoga Instructor
CYT-200
Jennifer Bowie is a dedicated Yogi not only with a passion for Yoga, but tremendous gratitude for what it has brought to her life. She is YTT200 Certified and a certified Reiki practitioner through Reiki II. Her personal practice spans casually over many years, and she has not met a Yoga style that she doesn’t like. Some of her personal favorites, however, include Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini, Yin, 26×2, Energy Medicine and Power Yoga. Over the past three years, she found her Yoga home at Little Red Yoga, and there finally recognized Yoga as a calling. During her journey through an extraordinarily comprehensive YTT200 at LRY, she found an even more profound love for something that she had believed she was already fully embracing. “Just when you think you know how much yoga has to offer, congratulations, you have officially scratched the surface”! Whether your connection is initially physical, mental, spiritual or all the above, Jennifer is confident that there is something for everyone. She has a thirst for knowledge and finds Yoga’s expansive opportunities to learn and grow, with endless paths to follow, deeply motivating.
Jennifer knew at a very young age that she wanted to contribute, and did so by serving in the United States military. In that spirit of service, she is honored and grateful to have the opportunity to continue to contribute as she guides students to a happier and healthier place through Yoga. Outside of the studio, Jennifer is an avid hiker, animal and nature enthusiast, loves stand-up paddleboarding, snowshoeing, mountain biking, boating, art, good food and most importantly laughter! To that effect, she feels truly blessed to have wonderful people in her life who she tries to spend as much time with as possible. Topping that list are her two “SONshines”.
LIVE, LOVE, LEARN, YOGA!

Austin Couto
Healer, Yoga Instructor, & Reiki Teacher
Reiki Master/Teacher, CYT200
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. A few years later a growing passion for rock climbing brought him back to the mat for the physical benefits, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits kept him there. He has since developed a deep interest in the Mind/Body connection and understanding the energy behind the physical world, as well as a deep love for the yoga community. At Little Red Yoga, he hopes to share his unique blend of modalities, insights, and experiences with the world!
Austin has taken three Reiki certifications with Beth McLacklan and Chris Michaud formerly of Ebb and Flow Wellness in Onset, several sound healing and channeling certifications with Paul Zoino of Sound Healing Cape Cod in Harwich, and Whitman Wellness Center’s 200YTT program with Traci Lapanna of Stella Maris Yoga and Wellness in Wareham.

Sarah Johnson
Yoga Instructor

Hi, I’m Sarah, a slow-flow yoga teacher based in Marion, MA. My journey with yoga began during a challenging emotional and physically demanding time in my life. Through that experience, yoga became a powerful space for self-reflection, release, and growth, supporting me as I found strength both on and off the mat.
I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Littleredyoga LLC, where I studied alignment, breathwork, and philosophy to deepen my understanding of mindful movement and the spiritual and physical benefits of the practice. In my classes, students can expect a supportive environment that holds space while gently encouraging them to rise to the challenge of the flow and discover a sense of balance they can carry with them.
My intention is to bring calm, balance, and compassion to every class. I believe yoga is a deeply personal practice, and I strive to create a welcoming space where students can align with what best serves them whether that means building strength, improving balance, finding stillness or embracing release.
I love working with students who are curious, open, and motivated to try new things. When I’m not teaching, you can find me spending time with my kids we love music, crafts, and being silly together.

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.

Karen Root
Yoga Instructor
CYT200
I’m Karen Root a form-based yoga teacher located in Lakeville Massachusetts. My yoga journey was initially based in the physical practice, hoping for strength and weight loss. Over time my practice developed into releasing the mental ties that bound me, allowing a spiritual growth I did not expect. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in December 2025 at Littleredyoga in Lakeville Massachusetts, where I studied proper form and alignment, anatomy, and yoga philosophy. My classes will be beginner friendly but also for any student wanting to work on form from basics to advanced poses. My intention is to highlight safety from the ground up for all student levels. I believe yoga is for everybody regardless of gender, size, age, or initial ability. I aim to create a safe space where students can discover just how wonderful their bodies are, and how yoga can release stress and calm the mind. My passion is to teach any student that wants to work on proper form while embracing the calming effects of the union of breath and movement. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dog, reading, and any activity that involves being in the sun.

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.

Tammy White
Yoga Instructor
CYT200
Hi, I’m Tammy. My yoga journey began in late 2022 while searching for a practice that was physically, emotionally, and spiritually fulfilling. Yoga became that anchor, offering the holistic healing and space for reflection I was seeking.
In December 2025, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Little Red Yoga in Lakeville, MA. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where every student feels comfortable arriving exactly as they are.
I offer a unique class experience that goes beyond physical movement to explore the rich history and philosophy of the practice. Each session includes 10–15 minutes dedicated to the subtleties of alignment, the original Sanskrit names of poses, and foundational yoga philosophies. This immersive approach is designed to connect your mind and body to ancient wisdom, enriching every movement with deeper understanding.
Off the mat, I enjoy writing poetry, nature photography, and traveling. I look forward to sharing the heart of yoga with you.
Peace, Love, and Yoga,
