Adi Yogi — शिव as yoga's originator — Coimbatore's 112-foot Adiyogi statue by Sadhguru। International Yoga Day June 21 — PM Modi's initiative — globally celebrated। Yoga industry — $80 billion globally — studios, apps, retreats, teacher training। Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Kundalini, Bikram — all yoga styles trace back to शिव। Patanjali's Yoga Sutras — systematic yoga text — but शिव taught yoga before Patanjali codified it। शिव yogadhyaksha — chairman of ALL yoga forms — not just asana (physical) but jnana yoga, bhakti yoga, karma yoga, raja yoga, tantra yoga — every path of union presided over by one lord।
