I first met Bryony Deery a few months ago, at a lululemon event where she hosted a mat-based classical Pilates workout for 450 attendees. A classical Pilates instructor who's built her empire around the premise of helping women feel strong, Deery is so much more than "just" a Pilates instructor. Deery is candid and open, sharing her lived experience and how her own birth experience unfolded in ways she couldn't have prepared for. The biggest thing I did was listen to positive affirmations, over and over, until believing in my body felt completely natural. Give yourself grace, move in a way that makes you feel good, and do it entirely in your own time.
