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 embodies everything a true yoga teacher should be — a guide, a mentor, a friend.
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.
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!
Her level of knowledge is by far the most comprehensive of any yoga teacher I have known in 20 years of doing yoga. Thank you Sarcha, you’re really amazing!
I have learnt so much from you and can’t believe how much you and yoga have changed me for the better – I’m sure you hear this from all your students, but it’s true! The warm, family atmosphere and your personal kindness and knowledge have meant so much to me.
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.
