Brainstorming Yoga Business Name Ideas
The first step is to brainstorm a list of words that could relate to your yoga brand. This is about getting all of your ideas out of your head and onto paper. This way you’ll then have a big ‘menu’ to choose from.
Grab a notebook and scribble down all the words you can think of. If you’re not really sure where to start, then here are some things to think about…
- What differentiates your yoga business from others?
- Are there any values your brand stands for?
- What products or services do you offer?
- How do you want your clients to feel?
Once you have at least 3 keywords for each question (i.e. 12+ in total) it’s time to refine them. Most people skip this step, but it’s actually what turns an ‘ok’ business name into an awesome one.
Look at your list of 12+ keywords and think of 3 alternatives for each one. You can use Google to find ‘synonyms’ or a good old fashioned thesaurus. Often you’ll find a new word that describes your brand more accurately than the word you’d first though of.

Apply A Business Naming Formula
You should have around 48 words by now. In this step, you should rearrange them into different business name combinations, ideally using a framework. This will help you organise your ideas and test them out as brand names.
This is how leading marketing agencies and global brands approach names. Here are some frameworks that you can use, substituting your keywords in the spaces shown…
- [Keyword] + Yoga (e.g. Lifestyle Yoga, Pure Yoga)
- [Keyword] + Studio (e.g. Restorative Studio, Om Studio)
- Location + [Keyword] (e.g. California Mindfulness)
- The [Keyword] Company (e.g. The Zen Company)
- [Keyword] Society (e.g. Ashtanga Society)
- [Keyword] + [Keyword] (e.g. Dynamic Vinyasa)
Try out different combinations with your own keywords and see which ones you like the sound of. This approach is a bit like having a yoga name generator at your fingertips! Note down any name ideas you like.
This approach isn’t just for big brands and businesses. You can use it to come up with yoga Instagram name ideas, class names, or online programmes too. Keep trying different frameworks or brainstorming new sets of keywords until you find the perfect one!

Make Sure It’s a Unique Name
The final step is to check that your new yoga business name isn’t already being used by someone else. Here’s how to do it…
- Search for the name on Google and Facebook, using quotation marks (“) to ensure you only get exact matches.
- Check your national trademark database to see if anyone has already registered the name: United States Patents & Trademarks Office or UK Intellectual Property Office (or the equivalent site for your own country).
- Use a website domain site like Namecheap to check if your preferred URL address has already been taken.
Doing these checks will ensure that your name is unique and won’t get confused with other yoga businesses.
But what if your business name is already being used by someone else? Well, you still have a few options…
- Consider whether you can use the same name without confusing customers… If you’re opening a gym in New York, and the name-twin gym is in Bangkok, you’re not going to be talking to the same customers, in which case there’s no confusion.
- Think about registering the trademark in a different class or adapting the spelling so that it won’t get confused with the other business.
