Full Circle Yoga

Established in 1972. Full Circle Yoga is located in San Diego and teaches yoga in the Iyengar tradition. Iyengar yoga differs from other forms of yoga in that the focus is on the student's alignment in the posture, the precision of the body and then holding the pose for an increasing length of time. Getting into the pose is as important as staying... in it and coming out of it. Iyengar yoga provides the student with a deep understanding of each pose, and the correct alignment of muscles, joints and bones. Iyengar yoga is slower than many types of more vigorous yoga, giving the student time to develop a depth of physical awareness and understanding. Iyengar yoga at Full Circle Yoga is a lifestyle and not just a workout. We focus on the individual and their journey with this practice. You will not find judgement at Full Circle, just instruction and support. Beginning, intermediate, advanced and private classes are available. We hope you try a class at Full Circle and experience Iyengar yoga. Founded in 1972 by Aman's brother, Pujari (Ed) Keays, he was a black belt in kempo karate and was interested in yoga. He had a couple of yoga teachers and then heard about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and left for India to find out what he was about. While he was in Pune, India, he also heard about this incredible yoga teacher, Sri B.K.S. Iyengar. He began to study with Mr. Iyengar daily. When he returned to San Diego, Pujari began to teach yoga in the same way that Mr. Iyengar taught. He called his yoga studio the Rajneesh Yoga Institute. In 1979, Pujari and his wife Abhilasha decided to open a bookstore with the yoga studio and changed the name of the business to Full Circle Bookstore and Yoga Institute. Aman bought the studio and bookstore from Pujari and Abhilasha in 1983. He and Sunny expanded and updated the yoga studio and changed the name to Full Circle Yoga Institute.Read More
