Jonathan Sattin - Triyoga

E1 Life Lives

Jonathan Sattin founded Triyoga in 2000. He now has 5 studios across London offering yoga, Pilates and providing a selection of wellbeing treatments, their ethos is all about ‘creating spaces where everyone can belong.’ Growing up in Hertfordshire in the East of England, Jonathan never had his heart desires on entering the health industry, since the influence of his father encouraged him to embark on practising law. It wasn’t until 1997 he experience an epiphany and explains- ‘I had to learn to stop and look in the mirror. It’s a bit like driving down a motorway, stuck in the fast lane and you miss the signs of life. One day you see the sign and realise you want to get off’. This is a man who used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day, drink 14 cups of coffee a day with at least two sugars, which within 3 months he stopped both and Triyoga was born. Jonathan describes himself as someone who is entertaining and complicated. He firmly believes the golden rule in business is to Never Give Up and it’s apparent that Triyoga was created as a way of life not just as a business. Jonathan quotes: Meditation is the effort we make to turn our attention inwards. Here is a story of a multifaceted individual and testimony that a business can be a result of doing what you love.
