Biography
| Bio | About Me I am an advanced practitioner and teacher of Ashtanga yoga. I have practiced various forms of yoga since 1990 and have practiced Ashtanga yoga daily in the Mysore tradition since 1997. I have sustained a lifelong commitment to yoga which has included maintaining a steady daily practice through injury, life’s ups and downs, raising children, and adapting to ageing. 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. Teaching is a joyful experience for me. My approach is warm and inclusive, catering to the individual’s capabilities with a strong focus on correct technique. I focus on helping my students develop breath integration with functional movement and alignment patterns. Off the mat my wish is that this translates to more grace, stability and compassion in their lives. I am dedicated to mentoring my students through unhurried and deep learning of the whole system of yoga. It’s a real highlight helping to connect my students with the practice and then seeing them embrace their own journey along the yogic path. My practice I practice and am competent to teach Primary, Intermediate and Advanced A series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, as well as Hatha and Restorative Yoga. I also run regular courses in pranayama, yoga meditation and yoga philosophy. Much of my teaching time is now spent training and mentoring yoga teachers. My studio I own and teach at Yogahub in Mount Hawthorn, Perth, Western Australia where I live with my dutch husband Pim and our kelpie Kali. Yogahub is a down to earth neighbourhood shala with a team of 18 highly skilled teachers. I lead yoga teacher training and mentoring of yoga teachers each year. My trainings are 100% in person, small cohort, gently paced, highly personal programs that produce wonderful yoga teachers. I love my job! Qualifications & Experience
Testimonial “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. The modules are thorough and the schedule considered and accessible. The sutra and Gita teachings were/are my favourite and have taken my understanding of yoga to another level. Thank you for your mentorship Sarcha. I have learnt so much from you and have felt loved and supported the entire time.” Find out more about me and my approach here. |
