According to Japanese legend, the Koi Fish (also known as the humble carp) spends its life swimming up the Yellow River. At the river’s start, there is a great falls. If the Koi can but climb the falls, it would be transformed into a great dragon.  

Based upon that legend, the Koi Fish has become a symbol for perseverance and strength.   It is for this very reason that I have selected the Koi Fish as the emblem for Koi Yoga & Fitness.  

We at Koi Yoga and Fitness believe that when the humble human applies that same strength and determination in the face of obstacles, we too, can attain high goals and improve the human condition.
