Raff's Brain #154: Hot Yoga Problems - Customer Service at 105 Degrees!

In this refreshingly non-sweaty edition of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob celebrates a rare moment of yogic triumph — not because he nailed a pose, but because he's finally stopped struggling. He credits discipline, consistency, and a suspiciously clean diet. But the real hero? A Yogi who quietly delivers disinfectant wipes during Shavasana, sparking a wave of subtle service culture across the studio. It's a story about yoga, yes — but also about how a tiny act of care can influence a whole community. From one wipe, a movement begins.

Outline:

• The surprising feeling of ease in a typically brutal class
• The compound effect of consistency in yoga and life
• Why things feel aligned: diet, discipline, and vibe
• The culture of the yoga studio and the Yogi role
• The moment Rob noticed something... different during Shavasana
• How a single thoughtful gesture became studio-wide standard
• The case for tipping yogis (and the strange culture of not)
• Organizational transformation, one alcohol wipe at a time
• Leadership by example: even in downward dog
• Big ideas in small gestures — and why they matter
