Perth Ashtanga Yoga with Sarcha Thurston
“I’m deeply serious in my commitment to yoga. Yet, I try to fulfill that commitment lightheartedly.”
Yoga is both my anchor and my sail, the discipline of daily practice provides a grounding to life’s challenges and triumphs. The spiritual practice helps to illuminate the path ahead and keeps me growing in the right direction. To develop a sincere and consistent practice over time brings yoga’s gifts of a strong and healthy body, the ability to focus the mind, and a place where I can turn inwards towards my true nature.
Sarcha is the principal Ashtanga and Mysore teacher at Yogahub Perth and focuses on helping her students develop breath integration with functional movement and alignment patterns. Off the mat her wish is that this translates to more grace, stability and compassion in her students’ lives.
What my Students are Saying
Thank you for the most amazing year. This year with your teachings, guidance and encouragement I have felt very blessed. Thank you for being such a sturdy mentor. You have taught from the heart and passed on a piece for us to nourish, grow, and share.
Sarcha is generous with her time and brings joy to the room with a heartfelt approach to her students and the practice.
When I first stepped onto the mat, I felt very vulnerable and self conscious. She recognised this and I was able to relax under her non judgemental guidance. Sarcha has a kind, intelligent, gentle yet firm teaching manner. Sarcha is an inspirational teacher and I would recommend her teaching to any yogi of any level of experience.
I personally love her teaching approach – it is always gentle and pragmatic, delivered efficiently and eloquently so that it fuels a sense of empowerment whilst understanding the purpose behind it.
Sarcha has the most wonderfully compassionate and encouraging approach to teaching yoga, making it accessible to all manner of people. She is a brilliant practitioner in her own right, with many years training and experience under one of the most highly regarded and experienced Ashtanga teachers in Australia.
Sarcha made me feel so comfortable in her class, I soon forgot about what I couldn’t do and focused on what I could do. Sarcha teaches with confidence, patience and dedication. It is obvious Sarcha has a passion for teaching yoga and her knowledge is fantastic. Sarcha inspires me to be better at yoga and I always look forward to practicing in such a supportive environment. Thank you Sarcha, you are simply amazing!
