Adi Yogi literally means the first person who started yog. The purpose of yog is to connect body with mind through meditation, breathing and poses. A lot of sadhaks perform Kumbhak and it is said that Kumbhak is the first step to arise your Kundalini. This is a yog that connects your soul with parambrahm.
The Adiyogi temple is in Coimbatore and it is established by Sadhguru’s Isha foundation. I have visited the place and it is actually a very peaceful and spiritual place. Most people have seen the 34 meter tall idol at least on picture. Adding to that, there is a small temple in front where people can sit down and worship a shiv-linga. In that temple, there are idols of 7 rishis. The connection between the Saptarshi and Shiv is that Shiv himself gave them the knowledge of yog. Inside the small temple in front of Adiyogi statue, also there you can see the idols of the Saptarshi performing yog kriya.
