Zoi Chisholm

Zoi started practicing Hatha Yoga in 1995 and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 2002.  She worked for Capability Scotland enabling adults and children with physical and learning disabilities until 2000 when she stopped work to raise her young family. Zoi commenced her yoga training in 2003 (Chi Yoga School Scotland) completing her training in August 2005.  Zoi is continuing her yoga studies in Integral Hatha Yoga under the guidance of her guru Sonia Sumar, founder of Yoga for the Special Child, LLC.In July 2005, Zoi completed her Basic Certification and Advanced level 1 training for Yoga for the Special Child, and in April 2007 her Advance level 2. 

For Zoi, she recognises her life's work in her children and for all who had special needs. She was blessed to find out about the work Jo Manual was doing in London. Inspired by Jo to make Yoga genuinely available to all, Zoi worked towards developing the social enterprise and charity which is Yoga Health & Therapy Centre (Scotland).

Zoi has two wonderful children one of whom has autism. Her children enjoy doing yoga. It is the gift of her daughters, one full of compassion for all life and the other with autism for whom yoga is so innate and part of her way of being, that Zoi continues her work and training. She hopes to pass on the benefits of yoga therapy by to all infants and children with additional support needs and to encourage more yoga teachers in Scotland to offer Yoga for the Special Child, LLC.
