Origins of Yoga

Adiyogi - The source of Yoga 

Adiyogi, meaning "the first yogi," is a term used in yogic lore to refer to Lord Shiva as the originator of yoga. He is also known as Adi Guru, the first guru. Over 15,000 years ago, predating all religion, Adiyogi, the first Yogi, transmitted the science of Yoga to his seven disciples, the Saptarishis. He expounded 112 ways through which human beings can transcend their limitations and reach their ultimate potential. Adiyogi’s offerings are tools for individual transformation, as individual transformation is the only way to transform the world. His fundamental message is that “in is the only way out” for human wellbeing and liberation.

"Adiyogi is here to liberate you from disease, discomfort, and poverty – above all, from the very process of life and death." - Sadhguru
