You may want to start by looking in you local yellow pages under yoga.
Generally if you find one studio you can talk to students there about
others.  I would try to find an Iyengar certified teacher, in that they
tend to be consistently well trained.  Shop around, take classes from a
variety of teachers.

In my experience nauli and uddiyana are not taught until the student
has mastered more fundamental practices.  It would be easy to cause
nerve damage if they are not practiced with care.

I have never heard of nerve damage from uddiyana or nauli.
How does that happen?

It happens when one thinks they can get better results by working harder.
