I clicked to say name it geographically, because that’s all anyone cares about. But then I saw The Flesh Pretzel, and that gets my vote. ---

Hello Everyone! So sorry for the delayed response to all of your wonderful suggestions. I have been dealing with an unexpected emergency that I had to take care of over the last couple of months, but we are back on track and looking forward to moving forward with our yoga studio project! We were unable to come up with a suitable name, so we decided to keep it simple and name the studio using the name of our town followed by the word “Yoga” … where it is and what it is. We were very happy with the name, however, we are having second thoughts because it limits us if we decide to open a second location in a few years. So we are back to the drawing board. Please forgive me if this is not the proper message board etiquette, but I have responded below to some of your ideas and questions below. > [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Yoga, eh? > > No seriously, that’s my suggestion. “Yoga, Eh?” I kinda love “Yoga, Eh?” - very cute and totally Canadian and available 🙂 > [@It\_s\_Not\_Rocket\_Surgery](#): > > The Bends > > Quite A Stretch > > Yo, Ga! I like “Yo-ga!” too … it’s sort of along the same lines of “Yoga, Eh?”, but the only problem is [www.yoga.com](http://www.yoga.com) is not available > [@drachillix](#): > > Get Bent > > Flexophile > > Knot your Average Yoga Place > > Balance > > A Simple Twist > > With a Twist (Yoga studio and bar) “Get Bent” was one of our ideas, but the name is already taken by another studio > [@jackdavinci](#): > > Yogatopia > Yogabba gabba > The yoga oasis > Fresh hot yoga > Yogalive > Yogaspire > Yogambrosia > @yoga > #yoga > Being yoga > Dithyramb > Inspire yoga > Center yoga > Yoga central > Yoga nexus > Vibrant yoga > Yoga shack > Yoga hut > Yoga home > Yoga shine > Bloom yoga > Nirvana yoga > Agape yoga > Eternal yoga > Yogamicable > Yogable > Yogennervate > The yoga spot > Yoga village > Inner peace yoga > One yoga > Transcend yoga > Yogascension > Now yoga > Ever yoga > Ever such yoga > Yoga hearth > Unity yoga > Get yoga > Omnipresent yoga > Synchronicity yoga > Yoga flight > Soar yoga > Emerge yoga > Yoga blossom > Yoga park > Yoga garden > Extreme yoga > Yoga jungle > Yoga island > Yoga triumphant > Excel yoga > Integral yoga > Yoga play > Yoga nova > Happily ever yoga > Treehouse yoga > Home sweet yoga > Lakeside yoga > > I think a better idea though is to have a contest for your existing customers. Whoever comes up with the best name you can give a free month pass to. Wow! You came up with a lot of great names! “Yogatopia” and “Get Yoga” are two of my favs … but unfortunately already taken by Canadian yoga studios. Yes, we have considered running a Facebook contest to help us name our studio, but we need a name to do all the legal, banking and other paperwork before we are ready to make an official announcement. > [@Ethilrist](#): > > (Lake Name) Yoga. > > Yoga by the Lake. > > What’s the lake’s name, by the way? Might be able to make some connection there. “Yoga by the Lake” is a great suggestion, but there is already a business in our town operating under the name “Fitness by the Lake” and she runs yoga classes on the beach. > [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Flex Appeal We also came up with “Flex Appeal” because it is fun and cheeky, but it is already being used by a few businesses > [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > Still Waters Run Deep Yoga. > [@Gyrate](#): > > 😃 > Much as I love puns, “ **Still Waters Yoga** ” is not a bad idea - it works in the lakeside location and the calming atmosphere of yoga. > [@The\_Other\_Waldo\_Pepper](#): > > I agree. Unfortunately, I got plenty of hits when googling Still Waters Yoga. I got no hits when googling Still Waters Run Deep Yoga. “Still Waters Yoga” is an interesting idea - Toronto is home to the very popular “Still Water Spa” > [@White SIFL](#): > > Breathe and Bend. I really like “Breathe and Bend” 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-name-my-yoga-studio/661213.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-name-my-yoga-studio/661213.md?page=3)
