š„ Episode Summary
Rob takes us on a road trip detour to Buckhannon, West Virginia (26201), for a small-town yoga experience thatās big on charm and full of surprises. Broadcasting straight from the parking lot of Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant, he recaps his first-ever PiYo class ā a Pilatesāyoga hybrid that feels more āmicro-tortureā than mindful flow.
From the surprising serenity of this North Central WV studio to thoughts on Speedy Gonzales lunch specials, punch cards, and an upcoming puppy yoga session (!), Rob explores the unique flavor of Appalachian yoga life. It's part cultural commentary, part spinal recovery, all wrapped in queso and laughs.
