Becky Tharp: Moms and Kids Alike Adore Her!

Have you recently had a baby? Wish you could keep working out like you used to but you just don’t have the time? Want a brand new workout regimen to go along with your brand new baby? With a glowing personality and seemingly endless energy, Becky is your girl!

Having two children of her own, Becky understands what mothers desire when they just don’t have the time to squeeze in the exercise they need. Although she used to spend most of her time as a personal trainer at the local YMCA, she was delighted when Cara Feldman, our director, asked her to come teach a class at Dhatri. While working at the Y, Becky had wanted to teach a class where mamas could bring their babies and work out with them. Many gyms and yoga studios offer classes for mothers and their infants, but Becky wanted older babies to be included as well. Unfortunately, the YMCA was not as receptive to this idea as Becky had hoped. After starting her Mommy-Baby Workout class here at Dhatri, Becky stopped working at the Y altogether due to her adoration for Dhatri and the perfect fit she found working here.

For Becky, it is essential that the space she teaches in is comfortable and enables people to achieve their best as they exercise. “The space here is gorgeous,” she tells me. “The view is beautiful, it is well lit, and everything is just so great.” Additionally, she comments on the power of Dhatri’s mission. As a fitness instructor, Becky often finds that the intention of many movement studios is superficial but “that is not the case here,” she says. “Mothers bond at Dhatri, their kids become friends and can be cared for in the children’s space, it is fun, and everyone here is just so nice. The whole place is great.”

Becky believes that having a place like Dhatri in the community is great because it creates a connection between healthcare, fitness, wellness, children and loving kindness that just doesn’t exist in other facilities.
