Hi,

I'm Miranda, and I've been helping others to enjoy the gifts of yoga for over six years now.

Returning home to the UK from India, I decided to share the most important thing I learned. That serenity is your destiny... and everything good in life flows from that.

Kismattu means destiny in the Malalayam language of Southern India.

May you find yours today...

WOW....
I don't know how September came around so quick but yet here we are.

I don't know how summer was for you but for me it was a whirlwind, so much has happened, I've cracked on with my yoga therapy course, I've said goodbye to clients I was with for over a year, I've had time away, I've moved house and had closure with people from my past. What a blessing life is and can be even in the mists of all this emotion.

This has all lead to me being exactly where I'm supposed to be and there's so much going on I can't wait to share with you'll soon.

Final leg of 2026 let's go!

My neck, my back and my knees have such a different meaning in my 30’s than they did in my 20’s and I’m here for it!

Keeping healthy isn’t just a flex it’s the very thing that keeps us alive. Being able to get myself around this course, being able to keep up with my 5 year old fire ball, being able to do physical work and activities is the very thing that keeps my mental health in balance. The mind, body, soul connection is real and keeping healthy at this point isn’t optional for me. In my 20’s I wasn’t healthy I was abusing my body and poisoning my mind, that part of me was young and it brought me to a place of completely loving and accepting myself.

I’m so proud of the woman I’ve grown into , more growth, more challenges, more choosing me!

#disabilityawareness #fitness #health #toughmudder #wellness

I just got home and here’s the truth!

Up until this morning I was considering pulling out.

There was lots of what ifs going on in my head, what if I can’t do it, what if I’m the only one like me, what if I don’t make it. Lots of fear based thinking, and it’s important I share this for 2 reasons…
Firstly it’s easy to see the insta post of the finish line and judge, or think that someone makes something look easy you never know what physical or mental changes it took them to get there.
Secondly because overcoming fear is something I’m big on. Everyone on that start line had to make a choice to do something that isn’t easy. I saw big strong men shaking on the beam, I saw tiny little women pulling themselves through the monkey bars. Sometimes it’s the fear of the unknown and starting new things and the more we do the hard things the better life becomes.

The team effort, and strangers helping everyone to complete a challenge was my highlight. In these times we live in seeing everyone in such light is what really fills my cup. On top of that people saying to me, wow I respect you, wow I’m impressed by you, my inner child is at peace because we can do it and we can inspire others at the same time, what a blessing.

Thank you to everyone who came today and a special that you to @iampossibleltd for the invite.
Thank you to @limbbofoundation
Representing @reachcharityuk

And thank you @toughmudder

I don’t have 20 people in my class, actually sometimes I only have 1 or 2 and I absolutely love that for me here’s why.

The first ever yoga class I went to as a disabled woman was filled with 20 “regular people” I felt lost and like “yoga wasn’t for me” …. It took me years to build my confidence and I never thought I could do yoga let alone become a teacher.

Now here I am almost 10 years on from that very first class, not only a 500 hour certified teach but currently studying yoga therapy. So no I don’t have a class of 10 or 20 fit bodies, I have very small classes accessible for those who didn’t think yoga was for them, I have people who come to me when they are in need of help and someone who can relate, not someone who can do a perfect handstand.

I also do online and in person 1-1s, personalised care, wellness and business events and festivals.

For bookings or more info drop me a message.

Been quite on the socials and I’m not sorry. I’ve been super busy this season and decided to spend the rest of my time focusing on me and my family. Honestly couldn’t be more blessed. Not to mention how many beautiful people I’ve met this year.

Nothing fills the soul more than being outside in nature around wholesome people and I love that for me. I spent years dreaming of this life and wow it did not disappoint.

I’ll be back to my regular routine in September and then to finish off the year and get set to this yoga holiday. Big vibes incoming!

#blessed #summer #season #torquay #yoga

Successful day showing the community all sides of yoga. Fun for the kids, relaxation for the adults.

The benefits for the mind , body and soul are endless and being able to teach the very young and the very old is a gift. Next week we have a completely accessible wellness day.

I booked my flights to India for next year with only one intention, to learn Ayurveda treatments and to continue my Ayurvedic and yogic studies…. However one person they wanted to come, then 3 then 4. So now I’m running this 3 week package deal WTF I’m so excited. This is obviously women only and one woman is looking to come just for week one, so I will accommodate. I will open this up only for 6 people so for those who do want to join let me know. - this was so crazy I literally put it together in 24 hours after some talks with my guys in India.

We stay practically on the beach.
When I say massage I mean a 2 hour complete Ayurveda treatment.
When I say yoga, that can be with me or one of the best yoga teachers I know.
When I say trip, India will change your life.

This is for people who have never been and always wanted to go to India but something has held them back. The package has been built around hold space for magic with safety at the forefront. Organised by me and my most trusted guys on the ground.

Food not included because it depends on individual preference and tolerance, restaurants on the doorstep.

My clients always bring me to the most beautiful places. The way my soul feels in nature really nothing can compare. I’ll be back later for our dance night where I will be going into how our body naturally moves like the elements.

#devon #dance #elements #movement #torquay

Something beautiful is happening, women are coming together and creating magic.

Somewhere along the way women forget the power of movement and connection, so we are bringing it back.

Learn how to reconnect the body with the universe through somatic dance practices, be guided through the wisdom of the feminine energy and let your soul lead the way.

Only 7 spaces remaining if you want to reserve your space drop me a message.

Honestly, I used to sit in my flat in London after going to a crappy job barely making bills thinking if this is life what’s the point. - It never made sense to me and as soon as I got the opportunity I was gone.

After having my son I knew there was no way I could go back to that life. So I created something that feeds my soul.

My son has been in rooms with me and asked me why no one turned up and why I still show up, this is why son, because one day people will show up, one day you will get booked for events and retreats and everything will make sense.

#devon #life #love #torquay #yoga

For those who don’t know as well as teaching yoga I also do support work working with those in need - you might have seen my recent trip to the waterpark.

I use yoga for my support work, teaching my client how to breathe and move properly, her walking and fitness and her emotional regulation has come on leaps and bounds.

My worlds are completely interlinked and I’m now going to be hosting monthly sessions with my team over at BeeKind. - this is specifically for those who need support and people who give support. It’s time this industry gets supported and I’m here to help.

If you are interested drop me a message!

Please thinking before asking questions like these to someone with a limb difference because it makes you look silly and makes us feel like shit!

Are you right or left handed?
What would have happened if you were left handed?
How does it feel to have one hand?

How exactly would you like me to answer because after 33 years my response is always 🙄

Use a bit of common sense, we don’t know and honestly we don’t care. These questions come from people who are triggered by our disability. In my experience it comes from a deep sense of insecurity from those who look at us and think how do they deal with it.

We manage, and actually we just get on with it. No it’s not easy but what else would you like us to do ? Be locked up in a cage?

If you feel the need to bring someone’s disability up in every conversation it really says more about you than the disability.

My expectations definitely hit me up, I was like oh yeah a fake arm will solve all of my imbalances. It’s definitely not the case. I’m now having to relearn how to use my arm, I have to use muscles I haven’t used before. People see the highlight reels and think wow but honestly the years of practice that goes on, years of dedication and trial and error is rarely looked at. It’s a whole experience and one that has brought me closer to myself. That said it doesn’t come without a lot of inner work and acceptance.

The man in the centre who handed the arm over to me said… we will be giving more advanced technology to those who need it. Making me feel shame for asking for more. It must be nice for people with 2 hands to judge someone who has 1, yes I look confident and yes I make it look easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s come easy.

That said I’m very blessed to be where I am and doing what I do. Here’s to the journey of growth!

#devon #limbdifference #selflove #torquay #yoga

Yesterday was incredible.

Women coming together, laughing, dancing and honouring each other is just magic in itself. They tried to take this from us and we are here to take it back.

A place to feel seen, a place to feel loved, a place to learn, to grow and a place to share our gifts.

This was the first of many. So many more beautiful days to come!

Here’s what we have at @birthfromwithin1 studio.

➡️ Weekly yoga session held by me.
➡️ Weekly drop in sessions for pregnancy/breastfeeding held by @birthfromwithin1
➡️ Weekly drop in sessions for menopause run by @holisticjoanna
➡️ Massage
➡️ Reiki

And lots more. Event days to lookout for: Digital Detox Days, Sober Dance girls nights and much much more!

This isn’t just a space, it’s a movement of women standing together, standing in our power and reclaiming what was stolen from us! What a blessing.

Dm any of us for more information on any of the above. 👆

#community #devon #spirituality #torquay #womenempowerment

I had to go extra hard yesterday because this was a rough week mentally.

Sometimes it can feel like life is totally against me but then I remember I didn’t do yoga for a week, then I do yoga and remember to stop panicking about the future and the things I can’t control.

A lot of our problems are our perception, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, overthinking they can take over your life and consume you. I still get caught up sometimes but then I come back to the mat, I talk to the girls and honestly it’s like a magic wand for me.

I never claim to be perfect just on a journey of growth and there are good days and hard days, all I know is that since I started this yoga journey the hard days are less and I have the tools to get me through those days.

Today I’m teaching at a mini retreat day and i know that everyone who attends will be coming to reset themselves. To let go and rebuild in community. What an absolute blessing to grow together. These are going to be regular events, why because we know the power of community and growth.

If you would like to join us for a class or retreat day then look out for the next one. If you would like to make a spare of the day decision and join us today we have a space left starting at 11am, 21 Market street. @birthfromwithin1 studio.

#healing #selflove #torbay #torquay #yoga

Honestly I really struggle with it, I just want to live in peace and do what I love and most times I do, except I live in a society which makes you pay extortion on basic human rights.

A system that makes you work 8-4 and the school hours are 9-3. A system that glorifies men who step out on their kids and belittles the mothers who do more than they should to provide for her kids alone. The constant balancing act of being a solo parent is a struggle only those who do it will ever truly understand.

We have a government who will gaslight and manipulate you constantly making you question your inner self. A government that controls you while stealing off the nation.

Big corporations that feed you misinformation to make profits, and has made millions of creating a nation of unwell people while demonising national medicine. At the same time stealing the natural resources to run unethical AI systems.

There are days I feel completely overwhelmed, and disheartened that I really have to meditate, I have to dig deep and find the beauty in my soul.

I refuse to allow the system to break my soul, but there are days where it definitely gets me down. Those days I go quiet, I go within and I find my strength.

So if you’re struggling, keep digging.

Join us for a beautiful day of circle, meditation, nourishment, breath & movement, inspiration and deep relaxation.

You don’t have to be flexible or perfect to show up, and I promise you not a single person in my class is caring.

It took me years to get to where I am in my yoga journey, I could “try harder” and get those perfect splits, but honestly I’m not that bothered, I’m more concerned with showing up and showing love to my body. Real yoga teaches us to let go of ego and to show ourselves kindness, not comparing ourselves to those with different features to us.

If you want a yoga class where you feel comfortable in your body and un judged, a place to full land and relax around a community of women then my class is for you.

Monday 6.30-7.30 - Online - booking required.
Tuesday 7-8pm - Corbyn head, Torquay(weather permitting or inside location)
Wednesday 10.30 - 11.30 - Birth from Within studio, Market Street, Torquay
Saturday 10.30-11.30 (Children/Pregnancy welcome) - Birth from Within studio, Market Street, Torquay @birthfromwithin1

I also have yoga/sound full moon beach sessions available through @darcysophiaholisticalchemy

Online classes £5 , In person £10 - if money if a barrier please contact me privately as money shouldn’t be a barrier to health. Happy to work with energy exchanges, social media shout outs or friend referrals.

#devon #mindfulness #selfcare #selflove #yoga

We honour ourselves, the moon and the earth.

We step into ourselves, our power and our peace.

We come together on the full moon and the energy hits different.

This is life, real happiness and peace! Those higher frequencies. If you want to join us on the next full moon for a yoga and sound session catch us in dawlish 7 - 8.30. Dm me or @darcysophiaholisticalchemy more info.

#dawlish #devon #fullmoon #soundhealing #yoga

The one thing about me is I’ll let shit go and figure things out.

I could spend a lot of time making a bag of excuses of why I can’t do things, or project my insecurities, instead me and my insecurities vibe like this.

I struggle with crow for the obvious fact of missing an arm, so see me fly in baby crow.

Instead of focusing on the I can’ts I focus on the I cans. A lot of the physical in yoga isn’t actually physical it’s mindset. These balancing asanas are more about how the mind can do rather than the body. The mind will project negativity and tell you it’s not possible. It is when you tell yourself it is, and when you find trust in yourself and when you spend time on yourself.

This is the kind of inner work that takes time. Re rooting the messages from the brain. Projecting positive thoughts leading to positive outcomes.

Traditional yoga in every way, not just the aesthetic but real philosophy for a better way of life!

#adaptiveyoga #crowpose #limbdifference #mindset #yoga

There’s been so many things happening to me this month on a personal level. A lot of stress and overthinking going on. From legal, to financial, to personal relationships everything has tested me.

I’ve had a lot of wobbles this month and old me would have completely freaked out and struggled to cope. I’ve definitely had moments of why me this month, but here’s the thing, in the mist of these situations I force myself to look at what’s really going on and how I’m responding to these situations.

I definitely used to react and now I’m taking time to look at my feelings and respect them. - people will be how people will be, so it’s for me to focus on the people, places and things that bring me peace and happiness.

I’m also very aware that what’s going on is on a much much deeper level, those of us who speak up, who stand in our power will always be met with challenges. Love, joy, gratitude are frequencies that don’t mix with hate, envy and the lower levels that feed the darkness of society. The spiritual war we are in that most people are completely unaware of is no joke.

If you’ve been going through it, you’re not alone, we all have something to work through, so keep going, keep showing up and keep breathing. In with the higher frequencies and out with whatever doesn’t serve us.

#growth #mindset #spirituality #selflove #yoga

If not why not?

There’s so many reasons to do yoga and so many more to do yoga outside. And that’s why I’m bringing my Tuesday night class outside.

Summer comes so slow and goes so fast so intend to make the most of it.

I’ll be teaching in a beautiful place call Corbyn’s head (Torquay) Tuesdays 7-8pm.

If you’re more of an inside morning person I’ve got a class on Wednesday morning’s at the Birth From Within Studio (21 Market Street, Torquay) Wednesdays 10.30-11.30

Dm for more information, no booking required.

#summer #season #torquay #torbay #yoga

I can’t lie this week was tough. Everything hit me at once as it usually does and I was all over the place.

The things I do in the times is firstly make sure I’m taking care of my physical but I know the direct link between physical and mental.

Then I allow myself to feel the feelings and then work through them. Emotional maturity isn’t about stopping emotions it’s about learning to ride those waves.

Life can be beautiful and tough. That’s why I’m always here working with brands who support my mission of living a balanced life.

#health #guthealth #lifestyle #torquay #yoga

I love yoga, and I don’t mean the flow (I love that too) but yoga goes so much deeper than downward dogs.

However you can’t force yoga philosophy on everyone. You can’t magically improve everyone’s life even if you give every class for free. Because honestly people have to show up for themselves.

Before I became a yoga teacher I wanted change, I wanted to become better and do better. It was a journey of inner growth and it took years.

I was “doing yoga” long before I even knew what a downward dog was.

I’ve been teaching for 2 years now, I’ve had busy classes and had classes where no one turns up. Lots of “I’ll support yous” but never shows…. I don’t want you to “support me” I want you to show up for yourselves.
To love on yourselves as much as I fell in love with myself. That’s what I want for people, but I’ve come to accept we can’t force. We must do what we can for the right reasons and if it lands it lands and if it doesn’t it doesn’t.

I do what I do because I love it. I do what I do because I said yes to me.

Next week will be 20 degrees + and it’s time to get back outside. Not only will I be hosting outside classes every week but I’ll be joining @darcysophiaholisticalchemy for Yoga and sound full moon sessions on the beach. What a blessing and gift to be able to do that. Let the summer season begin!
