the be.come project

I first released my mat in 2021 and over four years later it still holds up. I poured so much thought and care into this design - the extra large size to hold the body, softly embossed lines for alignment, material that’s sticky enough to grip but smooth enough to glide. Even the words at the top, “I can’t do it,” stare back at you in plank. Hands down, one of the best things I’ve ever created (along with @thebecomeproject and obviously, my kids). The original color is sold out but we did one last run in this beautiful sand shade before we closed. I’ve got a handful left and I’m offering them for $60 each, domestic shipping included. Originally $90 plus $15 shipping (the large size makes them a beast to ship), so it’s a solid deal. Hoping these go to hands and homes that love it as much as I do. Link in bio or stories to purchase.

In honor of the launch of @fullofshift , my new venture into the podcast world, the entire be.come shop is an additional 15% off! This includes individual routines, packages and merch. And while you’re at it, enjoy the very first episode of FULL OF SHIFT, a new podcast by yours truly and my forever partner, @nicotortorella . Episode 1: Gender and Identity Shift, is one I think many of you will appreciate. This topic has been highly requested by folks like you. Nico and I will be reflecting on the transformative shifts we’ve experienced since becoming parents. From pronouns to pampers, labels to changing tables, and baddies to mommy and daddy—this episode is an honest look at how our conversations about identity have evolved through parenthood. Enjoy! (snag your mat now, it will never be cheaper than this!) xx - @bethanycmeyers *sale ends 9/11/24. discount automatically applied at checkout

I’m in New York City for the weekend. It’s my first time away from my baby, my first time alone for an extended period of time in over a year and my first time really getting to sit with the baby in my belly and my changing body. This weekend is so dramatically different from my typical day to day that I needed to ground myself, and there’s no better way for me to do so than through movement. So I popped on a favorite @thebecomeproject routine (this one is “all around me”) and began to move in this new body of mine. When suddenly the words to song i’ve known for years hit me in a whole new way - “in love with the shape of you, in love with your body”. And I realized, I was. I don’t remember having this appreciation last pregnancy. I wanted to, but anyone who has carried a baby full term knows just how jarring it is to watch your body change so drastically week over week. No matter how “good” someone says you look, it’s often a very out of body experience. But this round feels so much more in-body. Maybe it’s because I have less time to think about it. Maybe it’s because this pregnancy feels dramatic easier than my last. Maybe it’s because I’ve done it once before and know what to expect. And maybe it’s because I’m just learning to lean in - to the softness, to the fullness, to the gentle sweetness of the mommy body. I’m writing this out today in hopes I carry this feeling with me throughout the rest of my pregnancy, into the fourth trimester and beyond. Link in bio to shop this routine and all my routines if you’re seeking neutral movement you can access on demand 🩵

Something has happened to me since closing @thebecomeproject , I’m finding myself falling back in love with movement. The honest truth is that the during the last portion of be.come, workouts felt like a chore. Every time I hit the mat my mind started racing - what alt would I give x injury? how can I adapt this position for more body types? what’s the least confusing way to cue this move? and the list goes on. Don’t get me wrong, these are important things for instructors to think about but it consumed me. The joy was getting lost. I barely worked out when I was pregnant with Kilmer and I was embarrassed to admit it, but I had ZERO drive. I was so sick during that pregnancy and so tired and she was such a mover in the womb that taking a walk around the block felt like an impossible task. I imagined I would be super workout pregnant person, I imagined I would create a whole pre/post natal program like other instructors I had seen. But just keeping up with my normal schedule of routines was a feat. So in this pregnancy I expected the same, but something has shifted in me during the last month. Once be.come was officially closed and life seemed to slow I had an urge to do my own workout. I opened the library of routines (we still have this for sale if interested), closed my eyes and landed on the routine “always and forever”. And you all, I LOVED IT. I actually forgot how good my own workout was! For the first time in years I was a student of movement and not a teacher. I didn’t judge, critique, lesson plan or beat myself up. I fully embraced listening to my body and just showing up - which if you know anything about @thebecomeproject , that’s what it is all about. It feels like this is my reward for following my heart and doing what I knew was right, as hard as it was. The ending always leads to a beginning. I’ll be sharing more favorite series, routines and thoughts on movement post-instructor life while our shop is still open! (link in bio)
