This episode of Hot Yoga Problems brings the heat—literally. Rob recounts a soul-crushing 90-minute Barkan Flow session at OBX Hot Yoga and unpacks the physical, mental, and existential crises that unfolded. Whether it's gasping through Vinyasa progressives, contemplating core weakness, or observing the ripped bodies of beach yogis, Rob reflects with humor and honesty.
The second half of the episode veers into classic Raff’s Brain territory: a traffic jam on Route 12 turns into a cultural commentary on OBX life, peanut branding, and why Mr. Peanut might need sports goggles. Throw in some snack-fueled rambling, cat box innovations, and plans for a 50th birthday bash, and you’ve got another delightfully chaotic brain spill. Hit play. Stay sweaty.
