🤍 Grateful for YOU: Meet Irene 🤍

We’re so excited to celebrate one of our shining community members today ~ Irene Chang ~ whose warmth, wisdom, and generosity make our studio feel even more like home.

Irene joined BYDF in June 2021 after relocating to the Berkshires from the Boston area. What began as a search for relief from chronic back pain quickly blossomed into a consistent yoga and Pilates practice that helped her grow stronger, more flexible, and more grounded in her body. Since then, she’s become a cherished regular in our in-studio, online, and outdoor classes.

In her own words:
“Consistently practicing yoga and Pilates has been truly transformative. Every class I've participated in has been excellent, thanks to the high quality of the instructors and the supportive members who bring positive and healing energy. I am genuinely grateful to be part of this beautiful BYDF family!”

But Irene’s presence at BYDF extends far beyond the mat...

She is a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, an extraordinary cook, and one of the most generous hostesses you’ll ever meet. She’s opened her beautiful Lanesborough home for a homemade luncheon with her husband Bob for our fellow members, shared her signature healthy dish at past Gratitude Gatherings (and tomorrow's celebration to come!), and even volunteered at our Berkshire Yoga Festival booth last Summer. She’s also a wonderful advocate for our studio, inviting new friends to join our community and always showing up with the most supportive, joyful energy.

And if you know her well, you also know she is the proud mother of Grace Kelly, the internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter, and jazz saxophonist who continues to make waves on stages around the world. 🎷

Irene, your kindness, heart, and generous spirit brighten every space you enter. We are so grateful for all the ways you support, inspire, and uplift our BYDF family. 🤍

Grateful for YOU, Chantal! 🤍

We’re so happy to shine a light on one of our amazing members this week — Chantal Poirier, a BYDF member since January 2025 and already 180 classes strong. Her dedication, warmth, and vibrant energy brighten our studio in the very best ways.

Chantal first joined us after getting tired of at-home workouts, and quickly fell in love with the variety of classes, the welcoming instructors, and the uplifting energy of our community. In her own words:

“The 3-week Discovery Pass was perfect - it let me try everything, and I was instantly hooked. I’ve found a real sense of community here. Nothing but positive energy and high vibrations.”

She adds:

“Rachael goes above and beyond to welcome everyone. Antoinette’s Strong & Grounded and Pilates, Angie’s Power Flow, Jessamy’s energy - I just love it all.”

Outside the studio, Chantal is an incredibly talented personal chef with a passion for global flavors, fine dining, and reinventing comfort food with a modern twist. She’s also known for surprising our BYDF Team with homemade treats like kimchi, matcha lattes, and bolognese sauce - all made with so much heart.

And this Thanksgiving, you can bring some of her culinary magic home to your own table!

✨ Chantal’s Holiday Meat Pies
She’s offering her famous Canadian Tourtière - a savory, deeply flavorful 9-inch meat pie (serves 6 generously), made with a blend of grass-fed Wagyu beef, pork & veal and served with a delicious gravy.

$30 each or 2 for $50
Gluten-free crust: +$5
Kosher version: +$10

📅 Order by Tuesday, Nov. 25th

Grateful for YOU: Member Highlight 🌟

This month, we’re shining a light on the incredible members who make our community so warm, supportive, and special...and today we’re celebrating one of our founding members, Kit Paris!

Kit has been with BYDF for over 11 years, showing up with kindness, positivity, and a heart that makes our studio feel like home. She lovingly tends to our plants each week, keeping our space vibrant, bright, and full of life ~ even gifting special plant surprises to members and instructors over the years. Her care touches every corner of the studio. 🌿

Kit’s been part of BYDF since the very beginning (even before our studio space existed!). Here’s what she shared about her first introduction to us and her thoughts on our community:

“My first experience with Berkshire Yoga Dance & Fitness was through Rachael at the Yoga Depot in 2012. I took her Wednesday morning class and fell in love with yoga and her gentle and compassionate approach. BYDF has been a place of community and love; a judgment-free zone where everyone is respected.”

When she’s not in the studio, Kit enjoys volunteering at the Berkshire Humane Society and giving back however she can.

If you see Kit this week - or in Tamara’s Healthy Back Workshop on Saturday - show her some love and appreciation for all she brings to our community.

We are so grateful for you, Kit! 🤍

Meet Tamara 🤍

This month, we’re feeling extra grateful for the incredible teachers who bring so much wisdom and heart to our community — and today, we’re celebrating Tamara, who has been sharing her gifts with BYDF for over a year.

With nearly 15 years of experience — and advanced training in biomechanics, pain science, somatic movement, and Polyvagal Theory — Tamara blends deep knowledge with true compassion. Her Ashtanga- and Iyengar-informed teaching, paired with a trauma-sensitive approach, helps students build strength, resilience, and ease in both mind and body.

A lifelong mover with a background in dance and theatre, Tamara teaches with clarity, curiosity, and attentive detail — creating a grounding space where students can grow with confidence. We’re so grateful for the calm, steady, inspiring presence she brings to BYDF.

Her classes are beloved by so many in our community. As longtime member Kit Paris shares...

“Tam is an excellent instructor and she has a wonderful way of explaining how the body works and how to make the most of a pose.”

You can join Tamara each week:
✨ Align & Refine — Tuesdays & Thursdays | 9 AM
(In-Studio & Online)

And don’t miss her special offering this weekend:
Healthy Back, Calm Mind Workshop
🗓️ This Saturday | 11:45 AM–1:15 PM
(In-Studio & Online)

A beautiful blend of mindful movement, breath, and practical tools for supporting a healthy, resilient spine.
