Hi, I’m Tony Carrillo, the founder of Bastu Innovations. I grew up on Minnesota’s Iron Range, a place where strong traditions and resourcefulness shaped my outlook on life. Today, I live with my wife, daughter, and our two pups on a beautiful piece of land just north of the small town we both grew up in—a place that feels like home in every sense.

My workshop, a humble barn on our property, is where creativity comes to life. Whether I’m designing new sauna accessories, brainstorming ideas for our e-commerce products, or filming content for YouTube, this space is the heart of Bastu Innovations. Every item we create is carefully designed, tested, and refined to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and originality.

Bastu Innovations was born from a love of sauna culture and its transformative benefits, but it’s grown into much more. As I work on my own wellness journey—striving for better health and balance—I’ve been inspired to share not just sauna traditions, but a variety of ideas and products that connect with people in meaningful ways. From handcrafted goods to educational and entertaining content, everything we create is rooted in authenticity and passion.

At Bastu Innovations, we blend tradition with creativity, craftsmanship with innovation, and personal stories with community connection. Whether you’re discovering the restorative power of löyly, finding inspiration in our content, or exploring our unique product line, I’m excited to share this journey with you.
