Why Online Classes?

  • Independence: You don’t need a ride or any other help to attend.

  • Consistency: Never miss a class, even in a snowstorm or when you’re sick.

  • Efficiency: No travel time. A one-hour class with SOCA requires just one hour of your time.

  • Comfort: Access to your own snacks and bathroom.

At SOCA, we feel that unless a class requires physical contact, traveling to a class is a waste of time and resources.
