SOGA is born

simply SOGA

SOGA grew out of many years of  surf and kitesurf training and sports research by Stuart Barnes and a collaboration with a yoga teacher.

The practice  is a fusion of yoga, core strength and balance training. The term was coined by Stuart Barnes. It was considered cheesy at first but seemed to stick.

A successful introductory workshop was held at Lotus Studio in Knysna, Garden Route, South Africa in November 2009. This workshop featured classic Hatha yoga and poses and unique SOGA exercises that blend yoga, core strength and balance training.

Since then Stuart’s SOGA practice has evolved significantly through extensive research, constant learning and work with students,  collaboration with yoga teachers, sports professionals and doctors. He continues to offer SOGA workshops from time to time. Independent group classes and individual lessons are also available.
