About sAlly
Sally began her journey in the health and fitness industry in 1998 after qualifying as a personal trainer and gaining a BSc in Exercise Science in the year 2000. Soon after, she experienced a deep calling to explore a more holistic approach to movement and breath, which led to Sally certifying as a yoga and pranayama teacher, training with Paul Dallaghan and Sri Tiwari at @centered-yoga in Thailand, in addition to studying at K Pattabhi Jois The Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore.
From teaching her female students however, Sally could see that if yoga asana and pranayama was applied in a more bespoke manner with regards to the natural womb cycles that most women experience on a regular basis, the application of yoga could be even more profound. This led her to studying for several years in earnest with leader and pioneer in this field; Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, with whom she gained qualifications in Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga and a Well Woman Yoga Therapy Diploma.
Since then, Sally has gone on to train as a Doula with Michele O’Dent and a Pilates teacher with A.P.P.I. (Australian Pilates Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute), and has established her own yoga teacher training school The Sally Parkes Yoga School in 2010, training over 1700 yoga teachers to date. Now specializing in women’s wellness, Sally offers yoga that honours the cycles of menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause, and is currently studying for her MSc in Physiology.
Winner of ‘Best Pregnancy and Fertility Yoga Provider’ of 2024, Sally is also the author of two bestselling books - The Yoga Healing Handbook, and The Manual of Yoga Anatomy. She also writes anatomy and physiology based articles for several publications including Om Yoga & Lifestyle, UltraFit and Yoga Magazine to name a few. She is a teacher for movementformodernlife.com and often writes for their blog, and is founder of the Sally’s Yoga Club, which is an on-demand women’s wellbeing yoga and movement platform, that donates to the charity Yoga Gives Back, of which Sally is Global Ambassador of the Year 2025.
Sally now lives in West Sussex, UK, with her husband Paul and two young daughters Bonnie and Rosalie, and teaches yoga and Pilates internationally as well as from home.
