About The Heart and Soul Behind YogaGeek

Who is Henrik Äijä: The Man Behind the Mat and the Mouse

I’m Henrik Äijä, with a background as management consultant and an experienced program and project manager with a track record in global industrial, technology and automotive companies. But don’t let the business suit fool you; I’m also an avid runner for nearly two decades and a yoga enthusiast with a keen interest in cameras, video, and photography. These diverse interests converge here at YogaGeek, where I apply my professional rigor and personal passions to bring you the best in yoga and other products.

The Guru at Home: Learning from the Best

Most of what I know about yoga comes from my guru, who is also my wife and a seasoned yoga teacher. Her expertise has been invaluable in shaping my understanding of what yoga is and what makes a yoga product truly beneficial.

A Little History: The YogaGeek Journey

YogaGeek started as a small blog and has grown into a leading independent platform for yoga product reviews. It’s been a labor of love and a journey of constant learning and community building.

The YogaGeek.blog Mission: Empowering Your Practice

YogaGeek has always been a sanctuary for yoga practitioners. Our mission is to empower you with the best knowledge on how to choose and use yoga products in your daily practice. We offer a unique blend of scientific and technological insights, ensuring that the information you receive is not only relevant but also rooted in factual and technological evidence.

What Sets Us Apart: The YogaGeek Difference

What makes YogaGeek stand out is the depth of our reviews and our commitment to community engagement. We don’t just skim the surface; we dive deep into the mechanics, materials, and usability of each product, giving you a comprehensive understanding that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The Science and Soul of Yoga Products

With a Master of Science degree in Engineering, I scrutinize yoga products with a scientific lens. But it’s not just about the specs; it’s about how these products fit into your daily yoga practice and even your lifestyle.

The Future Vision: Where YogaGeek is Headed

We’re always looking to expand and improve. Whether it’s introducing new features, series, or even expansions into related areas like fitness tech, the future looks bright for YogaGeek and its community.

Why Trust YogaGeek?

In my two decades of hands-on experience, I’ve seen yoga products come and go. I’ve tested mats that claim to be non-slip and found them wanting. I’ve tried yoga blocks that were neither here nor there. My recommendations aren’t just opinions; they’re backed by years of real-world testing and a deep understanding of the yoga community’s needs.

Let’s Get Social

Don’t forget to follow YogaGeek on social media. It’s where I share quick tips, product reviews, and the occasional yoga meme for a good laugh. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out.
