We have overtaken founder Jonathan Sattin to learn more about his background and his inspiration to open at home.

Tell us a bit about your background and your yoga trip …

In 1985 I was somehow the senior partner in my own law firm in West End (not something I would have ever wanted to be when I grew up), fed by 14 mugs of coffee a day (each with at least two sugars), 40 cigarettes and a few other things. I also played football, tennis, running, meditating – trying to find a kind of balance in my own way.

A partner at the company suggested that I was trying yoga – his wife had found a teacher, and he thought it might fit me, since I was always a bit “left of the middle” because I meditated. I remember that I went to a flat in parliament Hill for this one class and at one point I lay on the floor with my eyes closed but I saw a wall of mirrors in my mind and I didn’t ran to look at myself in the mirror. That class was the catalyst for a series of changes, some fast and some slow.

I met John Stirk who became my first Asana teacher – within a few weeks I stopped coffee and cigarettes and other things. And over a certain period – I noticed other changes in how I worked. And then I was somehow in an Ashram in India where I met my teacher who opened my eyes for the practices of Yoga. It took some time to get away from my then career, but in 1996 I jumped. I helped a friend set up and early years of YO! Sushi, kept in other companies, but it was a friend in La who said, “Why don’t you just do what you love?” And then Triyoga was born.

What inspired you to open the house and when did you open the space?

I left Triyoga in 2022 after more than two decades. I was not going to open another center – I thought that chapter was ready. But after taking a form of a break, people said how things had changed, and how so many of us feel broken, even in a world that seemed more digitally connected than ever. My feeling is that people want somewhere, where they belong, are seen and behind it

That stayed with me.

And then, due to a grill of fate, I was back in Primrose Hill – the location of the original Triyoga that was developed when Triyoga moved to Camden in 2014 – the courtyard walled and see that most buildings were vacant. It was strange and the possibility to open again was probably a kind of musing instead of a possible reality.

But the idea and the name for home was planted there. It was a bit of a trip to get there, but we have that. It is not just a studio. We opened our doors on June 29, 2025 – and for me it is a place to build a community (again), a reinvestion of what we have learned, a place to give and serve back. A space to reconnect – with practice, with people, with ourselves.

What is your mission at home?

To create a space that really feels like at home at all levels. A space where people can experience the highest quality education and service in all its meanings.

Home is a place to practice yoga, reformer or equipment Pilates, with the very best teachers. To enjoy a treatment, a distant infrared sauna, or a cup something good from just love kitchen, our plant-forward vegetarian café. But above all it is a place to connect.

That is our mission to offer the best education and therapies in an environment that is built around care, connection and community.

How does the house differ from other welfare spaces?

It starts with intention. Everything here is designed with thought – not just about what we do, but how it makes people feel.

We have two beautiful studios, with the very best teachers, who offer 90+ yoga and mat pilates lessons every week, a reformer studio with only 8 beds for targeted attention, equipment Pilates for one-to-one, small groups or rehabilitation and performance, two treatment rooms and a lot of infrared sauna.

What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about opening his own wellness area or studio?

Find a good therapist

Do you have a quote or mantra that you live with?

Not all the time and when I can, I try to remember the principle of offering what I do employed.
