Every month, each Back on My Feet chapter highlights one of its many generous sponsors and funders. See past Baltimore Companies of the Month here and other corporate partners here. See all of the chapter’s for-profit partners here.

Due to the success of our recent partnership with the Maryland Athletic Club, the Baltimore chapter would like to recognize MAC as its Company of the Month.

Since January, MAC has been offering BOMF members to join at a discounted rate as a thank you for their work in the community. Furthermore, the MAC has opened it’s doors for BOMF events and runs in the case of inclement weather. Teams have since held two Yoga events in their studios, providing members with exposure to a form of exercise quite different from, but complementary to, running.

Karen Dubs, expert yoga instructor and founder of Flexible Warrior, will be joined by members from the Baltimore chapter of Back on My Feet for private yoga instruction at the Maryland Athletic Club Harbor East.

The members were from the Christopher’s Place team.

In addition to running four mornings a week, Back on My Feet Baltimore assists residential members from its five area shelters with finding a job, permanent housing, financial assistance and self-improvement events — such as yoga — that they would otherwise not have access to.

Karen Dubs teaches yoga, Pilates and spinning, specializing in Yoga for Athletes. She has trained a wide range of athletes from the Baltimore Ravens players and The University of Maryland men’s basketball team to recreational golfers, triathletes and marathon runners.
