  Hi Branden,

  You will need to log in to WordPress.com using the new username you created for yogaofnomind.com. You can manage your site with that username, rather than your eadenshantay username.

  If you have any trouble logging in with that username, please go to this page:

  https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Click the “Need More Help?” link next to the button, and fill out the form. Our account recovery team will get back to you by email so you can discuss the options in private.
