# Deeside Yoga Institute
Deeside Yoga Institute, based in Aboyne in the Scottish Highlands, is the professional home of Gem Maryan, an experienced yoga teacher, trainer and yoga therapist in training. The institute serves yoga teachers and committed practitioners seeking advanced, evidence-based training and therapeutic support.
The business specialises in continuing education trainings in Yin yoga, nervous system awareness, and restorative practice, each integrating contemporary anatomy research with traditional yoga philosophy. Gem holds the credential of Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) with over twenty years of personal practice and fifteen years of teaching experience. She is currently completing a 875-hour yoga therapy diploma toward certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
What distinguishes Deeside Yoga Institute is its emphasis on the long-term relationship between teacher and student. Rather than one-off workshops, the institute offers ongoing monthly mentorship for working teachers seeking a steady learning community, combined with accredited 50-hour trainings and case study sessions. This approach reflects Gem's philosophy of bridging traditional yoga practice with what contemporary bodies actually need.
The institute also runs community programmes including work with older adults and people living with dementia, extending yoga's therapeutic reach beyond teachers. The combination of rigorous training, clinical yoga therapy practice, hands-on bodywork, and community engagement positions Deeside Yoga Institute as a distinctive hub for serious yoga practitioners and educators in Scotland.
