The story.

How a single idea — leggings with an attached skirt — grew into activewear for women of every background.

It started with a design problem.

It was 2007 when designer Candice Safdieh came up with the idea of leggings with an attached skirt. In the gym and on the street, Candice frequently saw women wearing legging-and-skirt combos that were mismatched and just plain sloppy looking.

Without delay, Candice drew up a design, sourced quality fabric, and had a local factory produce the first 200 pieces. Just like that, Joyful Activewear was born.

Snoga Athletics launched in 2015, when Candice realized there were still very few quality activewear options that addressed the needs of women from all backgrounds.

What we believe

One wardrobe for the whole day.

The most fascinating part of building Snoga, according to Candice, is her daily interactions with women of varied cultures and backgrounds. Snoga women differ in race, culture, religion, size, and age — yet they are all part of a greater identity: womanhood.
