Gary Sharkey
Yoga | Wushu | Parkour | Breathwork | Planetary Health
Hi, I'm Gary. I set up Sharkey and Friends Health and Wellness to help myself and other coaches in London work more with groups who need our services but wouldn't normally have access.
I began coaching skating back in high school. Halfway through university I moved to China where ice was rare, so I shifted to become a student and later coach of first Chinese wushu and then parkour. I started yoga at 17 and got my first teaching qualifications back in 2016. These days I mainly teach flavours of vinyasa yoga, resistance training, breathwork and meditation.
Outside of wellness, my executive career has been in sustainability. I was a founding member of PwC's global sustainability team and sustainability academy before stepping back in 2015 and leaving altogether in 2025 to scale Sharkey and Friends and focus on my own coaching.
I spend time each week working with the London School of Mosaic, where I chair the board of trustees.
