.YOGA Domain Extension

Why choose a .YOGA domain?

With .guru and .moe, this is one of very few non-European words in our whole catalogue. It comes from Sanskrit, and it names a practice whose age is counted in millennia — which happens nowhere else in the root zone. That gives the word a seriousness the vocabulary of fitness does not have: where .fitness speaks of performance, this one speaks of a discipline.

The practice

Styles, intensity, how it feels afterwards, what to expect. A beginner fears one thing only: not knowing what to do.

The studio

Timetable, class sizes, mats provided, what to bring. Say what to bring: it is the question everybody has before a first class.

The teacher

Training, lineage, certified hours, approach. An unregulated field where openness about training sets you apart immediately.

The retreat

A weekend, the place, accommodation, level required, total cost. A heavier commitment than a class: it needs more reassurance.

Online classes

Recorded sessions, length, level, equipment needed. A complement that keeps members practising between studio visits.

What it actually changes

• It is a Sanskrit word. With .guru and .moe, one of very few non-European words in the catalogue.
• It names a discipline, not a performance. That is what separates it from .fitness, and what calls for a much quieter tone.
• No registration restrictions. No teaching certification to show the registrar — but display yours.
• It works as an email address too. timetable@claire.yoga is said without spelling in either language.
