National Women's Small Business Month Spotlight: Rachael Plaine, Founder & Director of Berkshire Yoga Dance & Fitness

"In 2014, I took a leap of faith and opened Berkshire Yoga Dance & Fitness, creating a space for people to find peace, healing, and transformation. I envisioned a community where we could come together to move, breathe, and grow, both on and off the mat.

Today, BYDF is a place where we heal, evolve, and feel good together. I'm delighted to have seen the studio grow into an incredible team of instructors, each bringing unique talents, perspectives, and practices to our space. Their passion and expertise enrich our community, helping everyone who walks through our doors find joy, strength, and connection."

I recently shared about the passing of my sweet girl, Samba, in our studio emails and a personal post and I just want to take a moment to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who has reached out over the past several days.

Your messages, hugs, stories of love and loss, and words of comfort have meant so much. This community ~ your kindness, your presence, your hearts ~ has been such a source of healing and light in my life, both during this time and over the years.

Samba has been by my side since the very beginning, through every season of life and every chapter of this studio - from the early days of teaching, to opening BYDF, through early morning yoga and meditation sessions, countless days and nights curled beside me as I worked from home, and all the transitions and transformations in between. She was the most loyal companion and a constant reminder of unconditional love, joy, and presence.

In this quiet space of missing her, I’ve been holding close these words shared with me from our community:

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
~ A.A. Milne

To anyone who has ever loved and lost ~ a loved one, a pet, a place, or a season of life ~ I see you and feel for you. May we all find the courage to sit with what is, to breathe into the ache, and to soften into the quiet spaces of our hearts where love still lives.

Thank you, BYDF community, for being a constant light…for me, and for one another. I am so deeply grateful for you all. 🙏

“This we know: the earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family.”
— Chief Seattle

As we reflect on Indigenous Peoples’ Day this week, we honor the wisdom and care of those who have long lived in connection with the land — reminding us of the sacred relationship between earth, breath, and being.

May this week be an invitation to slow down, ground deeply, and move through life with gratitude for the earth that holds us and the community that surrounds us. 🤍
