@max23_ 's answer might work for now, but is not the correct way of doing it - as a rule of thumb, we should never access private variables directly as these are often subject to change. (edit: no disrespect :-) )

Due to this pull request, the new and future-proof way of getting the wrapped component's ref is to use the getNode() utility method, as accessing private variables (prepended with _) is not safe from future API changes.

So, the new way of doing it is

ref={c => (this.myRef = c)}

and then when calling the method, doing

this.myRef.getNode().scrollTo({
  y: 0,
  animated: true,
});
