How it forms
One or more of the three benefics, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, sit in the 6th, 7th or 8th sign counted from the Moon. The classics grade the result by how many take part: one gives the yoga of a commander, two of a minister, three of a leader.
With only one of the three taking part, the engine reports the yoga in a weaker form.

How common is it?
We cast 20,000 charts with this site's engine, for random birth times and places between 1940 and 2010, and counted. Adhi Yoga appeared in 48.7% of them: about one chart in two. It held in full, with none of its weakening conditions, in 1.3%; in the rest it was present in a weaker form.
A rule that appears in about one chart in two cannot mark anyone out on its own. What matters is its strength, and whether anything in the chart cancels it, which is why the engine grades each one rather than simply reporting it.
