San Diego / California / United States
Full Circle Yoga Institute is located in San Diego and teaches yoga in the Iyengar tradition. 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. The studio still carries books catering to the study of yoga and meditation.
