In feng shui we believe it's important to have the name resonate not only with what you do but also have it symbolize your company motto. "Studio" and "Fitness" are good choices so I know that you are in health industry. You offer so many things at your studio, but what do they have in common? What is your philosophy? Do you approach it with an Asian philosophy of yin-yang balance? If you spent half of your life in Asia what words have meaning for you? Harmony? any particular Asian translation? In Japan we always use the word "Gambare" that means to try hard, do your best. Gam-ba-re Studio could be too foreign for many but it does make a story. Yin-Yang Studio may work for you and you can have a paragraph in your brochure to say why you named it Yin-Yang. These are the things people remember. Good luck and hope these suggestions help.

This site came up and I have been looking at everything on here-it's great! But back to the focus of renaming the business. It is a studio incorporating barre fitness, pilates, yoga, fusion, dance, kids yoga, athletic training and nia. I was going to call it "the barre" with pretty swirls but when people hear the name they don't respond as well as when they see it so I think I need to reconsider the name since word of mouth will be the biggest advertisement. Could you give me any suggestions? I thought of 'Yin Yang Fitness' although that seems to not feel right or even just 'the studio'. Thank you in advance for any help you can supply. I am not asian by blood but spent half of my life there and have embraced the philosophies deeply and therefor there is a lot of asian influence in my teaching and decorating.

We have to remember that a name and logo will resonate with the company, so it's important to take that into consideration. It'll be interesting to see how Google grows in China now! Hi Ben,

Songs should be sung from mountain-tops or on great walls, not in stuck in valleys. I'll certainly blog about this idea in the coming weeks! -Ben Hi Jenny,

Feng Shui does use a lot of symbolism to help analyze everything. Happy to hear you enjoyed the post. Feng Shui does use a lot of symbolism to help analyze everything.

Coming up with names is hard! I love the fact that you looked into the family genealogy and found the frogs on their coat of arms. I struggled for a long time before coming up with a name for my blog. I had no idea that Feng Shui could be used for naming things. That was really interesting learning that.
