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 has a warmth and humility that makes being in her presence an absolute joy. This coupled by her immense knowledge and dedication to her own yoga practice makes for a teaching experience which not only perfects the body but enriches the soul.
I’m so thankful that I have had Sarcha to guide me. Over the past few years she has gently supported me as I have navigated my way back into a daily practice. Her confident, knowledgeable, and sensitive approach to teaching has allowed me to rediscover my own strength and balance. Sarcha is a true teacher. You can sense Sarcha’s knowledge and experience in every instruction and adjustment she provides. She is patient, encouraging and fun. Sarcha has created a space that is welcoming to all and it truly is a joy to practice with her.
Sarcha is a great teacher—kind, generous, and deeply committed to her own practice and to helping others on their journeys.
Sarcha is both gentle and uncompromising in her approach in equal measure, which has given me the confidence and motivation to keep returning to class – and working towards improving my practice.
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.
