Real Yoga

Everyone is born on a certain date. This birthdate is fixed in stone and cannot be changed.

In Yantra Yoga, we seek to harmonize the vibration of the name with the birthpath. Since we can't change your date of birth to match the vibration of your name, we change the name to match the birthpath.

When helping people change their name, we consider more than just matching the name to the birthpath. We consider numerous things including, but not limited to, looking at the letters in a name to see how that can affect your life.

A name like Irine, as an example, contains the letter i twice and the letter r once. This could create 27 years of losing. It's an influence and only an influence, but something to seriously consider.

While the letters within the name are a sub–influence or a lesser influence in the scheme of things, it's still something to consider.

This is why, before changing your name, you are encouraged to contact us for free assistance in selecting a Wise Name.

Important Notes:

1. Enter your first name only.
2. The Start Year should be your birth year.
• If you have changed your name, you need to start with your birth name.
• Find when the last letter of your birth name finished after the year you changed your name.
• The Start Year for your second name will now be the year the birth name finished.

This is an emotional period. Can be draining on the nervous system. A period of losses can happen — financial or emotional such as a break–up or grief. A balanced name can help create a more inspirational time period. During this time period dreams can be destroyed. But this time can also bring a sense of accomplishment. Time to look back on your life and decide what's been good and what's been bad. Through away the bad, keep the good. You throw away thoughts and ideas that are not needed and keep those that are. Most people experience some sort of loss during these influences, usually a personal or emotional loss. But could also be financial.
