to Rosetta about name for Yoga practice

Dear Rosetta ~ what immediately came to mind was "Ma Devi Yoga" or "Ma Devi Peacefulness Yoga." I wish you the best in finding the right name and in your teaching endeavors. Shanti ~ Linda

The Devi Mandir community is usually so helpful in every way with questions about puja, but I wonder if anyone would be interested to chime in on this question.I would like to find a name for my yoga studio that would reflect taking refuge in the Divine Mother, but knowing that Sanskrit is an inflected language, I don't want to make a mistake in naming it.Could anyone suggest a short and easily pronounceable name that would call on the protection/blessing of Devi? I had thought of something like "Yoga Saranam," but I don't know if that makes sense.I want people to feel that our yoga classes will be a peaceful refuge from the stresses that so many people are feeling now. (Also want people to understand that our yoga classes won't be for physical exercise only, but will always have a strong spiritual component.)

Devi Sharanam - literally, taking refuge in the goddess.Yoga Sharanam would mean taking refuge in Yoga. This may be more appropriate to a wider variety of people, and the decoration of your yoga studio can reflect a further layer of meaning, as Yoga has the connotation both of disciplined practice and of union with the divine.
