Yoga Studies Institute (YSI)
The Yoga Studies Institute is a non-profit educational institute that thoroughly grounds students in the classical tradition of yoga. The YSI program reunites the "outer" methods (working with the physical postures and breath) with the the traditional "inner" methods (cultivating the ethical restraints and commitments, meditation, and wisdom) into a powerful synthesis the ancients called "royal yoga.".
Diamond Mountain (DM)
Diamond Mountain's goal is to provide you with everything you need to lead a wise and good life, and to become nothing less than a being who can go to all worlds and serve all living creatures, all at once. To get you there, we take you through all the traditional training that a monk or yogi would get in a demanding, major monastery in Tibet or ancient India.
Asian Classics Input Project (ACIP)
The Asian Classics Input Project is dedicated to locating, cataloging, digitally preserving, and disseminating rapidly disappearing Tibetan and Sanskrit manuscripts that hold the philosophical, cultural, and religious heritage of endangered cultures dating back more than 2000 years.

Global Family Project (GFP)
Global Family Project supports families by providing jobs in developing nations. We believe this world is full of opportunities, and we are currently looking into other ways to create jobs where they are most needed (not just in South Asia). We take our inspiration from Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, who is gradually transforming Bangladesh from the bottom up by providing micro-loans to the poor. While our approach may differ, we agree that the best way to help people is with jobs rather than handouts, and we share his dream of creating a better world.
