Default Before you waste more thought on domain name changes...

You should be able to get much better results without even thinking about a domain name change. You have some decent links to your site, not a ton, but still decent, you've got some average page rank which if nothing else is a sign that your site is somewhat established. Changing domain names will likely do more harm than good, especially if you can get a lot better without doing so.

As the search engines see it your main page is about a lot of different things. It's about Health-2u. Who searches for that? If they know to search for that, they'd already find you by entering the domain name. It's about Welcome. Again, who searches for that??? It's about Juice Plus Supplements. And oh, by the way, it's about Yoga in Orange County. All the other stuff really waters down the subject of the website, and so as far as Google is concerned, Yoga in Orange County is only a small part of what the site is about, and that kills you in the search results.

Try these two things, and I'll bet it makes a huge difference fairly quickly for you:

FIRST: Simplify the title: Yoga Classes in Orange County

SECOND Put the part that says Yoga Classes - Private and Group in an H1 tag and add Orange County to that heading. Something like Yoga Classis in Orange County - Private and Group

These two things alone will make it much more clear that your site is about Yoga in Orange County. I'd really be surprised if you didn't end up on page one after that.
