Yoga at Sutton House

Come and join Fionna for a welcoming yoga practice in The Barn at Sutton House, Hackney.

River Yoga grew from Fionna's own journey into yoga. While working at another National Trust property, she began inviting staff and volunteers to practise yoga and meditation together in beautiful gardens. The warmth and encouragement she received planted the seed to pursue yoga teaching more deeply.

That journey eventually took her to India, where she completed her Yoga Teacher Training and immersed herself in the practice and culture of yoga.

Inspired by the beauty of nature and with a lifelong attraction to water, Fionna chose River Yoga as a name that reflects the way she teaches.

Water is constantly moving — sometimes gently and sometimes with greater force. In much the same way, we move and breathe through the changes in our lives.

River Yoga is about finding your own flow. There is no expectation to force yourself into a pose. Instead, you are encouraged to listen to your body, respect its limits and discover what feels right for you.

This 45-minute session will include yoga movement, stretching, breathwork and relaxation. You will be encouraged to work within your own limits, with alternatives offered to suit your individual body.

Whether you are completely new to yoga or have an established practice, you are very welcome.

Come as you are, take some time for yourself, and enjoy the opportunity to move, breathe and slow down.

The sessions take place in The Barn, a light and spacious room within Sutton House, with beautiful timber beams and large windows.

It's a lovely setting to step away from the bustle of everyday life and spend some time moving, breathing and reconnecting.

A different setting, but the same invitation:

Breathe. Move. Flow. Reconnect.

Please arrive hydrated, bring your own yoga mat and blocks, or a cushion if needed, and wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.

For those new to yoga there will be a small number of mats and blocks available for you to use.

You may also wish to bring an extra layer to keep you warm during relaxation at the end of the session.

The yoga sessions take place in The Barn at Sutton House. Please follow the signs on arrival.
