Hot yoga’s got nothing on a Northern Virginia parking garage. In this raw, relatable episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob returns to Arlington with a dinged-up Subaru, a broken AC, and a new outlook on midlife fitness.
He dives into the trials of standard transmissions, the allure of Garmin-era nostalgia, and a potential collaboration with a shredded Miami-based personal trainer (who might also be a distant relative). Can a rigorous new health plan fit into the busy, bumpy road of everyday life? Is the key to change just… accountability?
Also, shout out to Outer Banks hot yoga: hotter than the sun and twice as unforgiving.
