In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety confronts the trials of early morning yoga, from dodging chin stands to regrettable mat placement decisions. Join Rob as he reflects on being both broken and triumphant after a 6AM class that left him physically crushed but spiritually smug. He skewers the absurdity of peak poses (we see you, camel), wrestles with inclusive yoga lingo, and explores the surprising wisdom in being the cautionary tale on the mat. Funny, real, and 100% relatable—this one's for every yogi who's ever had second thoughts mid-flow.
