5. Mayan Jungle Yoga Retreat & Jungle Yogi Village - Riviera Maya, Mexico
It is said that if you dig a hole in Mexico, you will eventually come out in India. This connection between two ancient and mystic civilizations provide the foundation for the creation of the Ashtanga Americas MAYAN JUNGLE YOGA RETREAT & JUNGLE YOGI VILLAGE development. Michael Gannon, the founder of this project, has acquired 30 hectares (300,000 square meters, for phase 1) of virgin land in the Mayan Jungle, 15 km from Playa del Carmen, Mexico (www.playa.info). Three to five hectares are currently dedicated to the Ashtanga Americas Jungle Yoga Retreat and the remaining land is being subdivided and offered to fellow yogis and others on a similar path, at less than $10 per square meter. This development will create the first ever Yogi Village in the Western world. If you are interested in learning more, you can see an outline of the project in detail at www.ashtangaamericas.com.

6. Ashtanga teachers for Tempe, AZ yoga studio
Yoga Dosha is a new studio located in the heart of Tempe. Yoga Dosha's goal is to create a welcoming environment for students to develop their practice with some of the best yoga teachers of various disciplines in the East Valley.

Products & Resources
1. Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series with R. Sharath DVD (2005)
R. Sharath, Assistant Director of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute, and the foremost practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga today, expertly demonstrates the primary series in this DVD. Will only be available from Ashtanga Productions.

2. GURU DVD
Discover what it means to be and have a guru. The Indians have found an answer in the guru system. Put trust in the guru (once you have found the right one!) and he/she will take you on a journey—of transformation—from darkness into light. This film offers never before seen insights into the life of 90-year-old Ashtanga Yoga guru Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Film-maker Robert Wilkins traveled to Mysore, India for Sri K. Pattabhi Jois's 90th birthday celebrations in July 2005. Students descended from all over the world for this special event. Running time: 28 minutes plus extras. DVD Extra Features: Exclusive (not seen in documentary) interview footage with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois; Dr. M.A. Jayashree explains the guru system; Sit at Mysore's coconut stand.

3. Mysore Style Book
Photographer Graeme Montgomery, art director Giles Kershaw and stylist/illustrator Mark Whitaker documented the occasion of Guruji's 90th birthday and photographed the incredible mix of yogis who had gathered in Mysore. Mysore Style is a 220 page coffee table style book featuring 170 color and B&W photographs; contributions from students and teachers including John Scott, Lino Miele, David Swenson, Hamish Hendry, David Life and Sharon Gannon. All profits from book sales will be donated to the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Charitable Trust.

4. Jaya Sat Guru - Kirtan CD by David Garrigues
A truly devotional collection of songs featuring certified Ashtanga teacher David Garrigues and a chorus of yoga students and teachers.

5. Cotton Non-Slip Yoga Mats
Developed by an Ashtanga yoga practitioner, Naked Mat™ is a traditionally woven, all-natural cotton rug with a non-toxic latex surface underneath. It eliminates the need for a combination of a sticky mat and rug/towel, or it can be used in addition to a sticky mat and have better traction than a regular rug or towel.
