In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob dives into his pre-dawn journey to a Yoga Sculpt class in Clarendon, Virginia — and all the madness that came with it. From silent coffee grinder dreams to green-light miracles on Washington Boulevard, it's a morning of small wins, big sweats, and unexpected revelations. He reflects on the challenge of categorizing hybrid workouts, makes a humble plea to tech innovators, and marvels at a consecutive streak of green lights that could make Ripley's proud. Plus, three-pound weights never felt so heavy.
If you're trying to fit fitness into a chaotic schedule or just love an observational deep dive into early morning absurdity, this one’s for you.
