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
I couldn’t recommend you choose this yoga teacher training more. Sarcha’s knowledge and her passion to share it is a privilege. Her quietly confident nature is something to learn from in itself and to be in her presence is to know you are in the very best hands. Team this with her humility and sense of humour and your yoga journey will be ignited. I have learnt so much from you and have felt loved and supported the entire time.
Her skill level and dedication to her practice is inspiring in itself, however it’s Sarcha’s dedication and generosity of time and spirit with her students that is truly extraordinary. Her teaching method is an equal mix of perceptiveness, compassion and firmness and her commitment to technique and individualised guidance and adjustments is clear
Five years into my yoga teaching journey I was looking for a mentor and I feel so lucky to have found Sarcha. Her expert guidance over the last year has been priceless. A great mentor leads by example, and for this reason I believe Sarcha is an excellent mentor. One only has to look at the community she has built at Yogahub to see it. Sarcha is not only one of the best in the biz, she also has an enormous heart. Thank you Sarcha!
Sarcha is an extraordinary teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She goes above and beyond to support her students, give them the tools they need to express their individuality and excel in their teaching. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her!
Sarcha is an exceptional teacher and person. She is so astute when it comes to reading my body and for that matter the bodies of all her students. She is so adept and just knowing what every student requires in terms of their practice. However, I think for me, the most important aspect of Sarcha’s teaching is her kind, nurturing non-judgemental approach. Sarcha has taught me accept who I am, in terms of my strengths and limitations. Sarcha even helped me to get my first gig as an inexperienced yoga teacher; for which I’m eternally grateful. I couldn’t be anywhere else. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
Sarcha is an extraordinary Mysore yoga teacher, and a very likeable human! She creates an atmosphere of warmth and compassion, but also directs students towards progressing their practice. It is clear Sarcha can distinguish the abilities and challenges of my body as distinct from those around me.
