My ashtanga teachers from afar offer Mysore ashtanga yoga, ayurveda and tantra. They have an ashtanga yoga center in Bali and are offering workshops and ashtanga yoga teacher training there in 2010.

Looking for authentic Vedic practices and teachings? I have learned so much at this studio up in Salt Lake City! They have taught workshops on Ayurveda, Raja Yoga, Jyotisha, Vastu Shastra and so much more. I am SO grateful to have found them! They have taken my studies to a whole new level. I also practice ashtanga there with Jeff once a week - it's like Grateful Dead meets Pattabhi Jois.

Sanskrit Sounds, Santa Fe

Nicolai Bachman will rock your little Sanskrit world. He teaches ayurveda, Sanskrit, yoga sutras and chanting...and a few other miscellaneous items. He offers 3 books that have CDs with them so you can learn the Sanskrit pronounciation of the common words used in yoga, ayurveda and the sutras. Highly recommended for stimulating your yoga intellect!

School of Practical Philosophy and Meditation

Niall Mandall is a very inspiring, knowledgable, compassionate, generous teacher when it comes to philosophy and life. He talks the talk, but also walks the walk. I met Niall at my Vedic Chant classes and have tried to learn as much as possible from him. A teacher of Sanskrit, Yoga Sutras, and Philosophy, Niall has opened the Scottsdale branch of the New York-based School of Practical Philosophy and offers 10-week classes on the popular topic of Philosophy as structured by the school in New York. He is also offering Sanskrit classes through the yoga studio of Dave Oliver and Cheryl Hall. His teachings there are geared towards the many yoga students that attend. As a yoga teacher and student, I have been shown the importance of deepening one's study in philosophy and questioning everying, as well as proper sanskrit pronounciation of the poses, etc! I highly encourage anybody looking to further their yoga studies to contact Niall and get enrolled in some of his classes immediately!
