In the yoga tradition, Shiva is known as the Adiyoga, or the first yogi. He is the patron god of this practice we love so much, and which has helped us change for the better. Known as the Destroyer within the Trimurti — the three supreme gods: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — Shiva helps create, protect, and transform the universe.
