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
She holds such illuminating energy which creates a truly special learning environment. It’s the kind of learning that keeps unfolding long after you leave the mat.
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 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 I listen and observe you most mornings and I don’t think I have met anyone as kind and interested in others growth.
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.
There are plenty of yoga teachers out there but few have Sarcha’s deep knowledge of yoga and her generosity of spirit. I started yoga over 12 years ago but it wasn’t until I started Mysore practice with Sarcha a few years ago that I embraced yoga and truly understood its value in my life and that of others.
