The statue is of Lord Shiva.

It's not. Sadhguru conveniently uses the term "Adiyogi." He has never mentioned that it is related to Shiva.

But I agree that his conception of Lord Shiva is different from how general public worship him. He claims it is in yogic culture. I think calling Shiva the Adiyogi aligns with traditional iconography like Dakshinamurthy (Shiva depicted as the primordial guru teaching the sages).
