In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety gets taken down a few notches by a deceptively chill Core 2 class. Riding high on a streak of good sessions, Rob walks in with swagger — only to walk out annihilated in body, mind, and spirit. From confusing transitions to poses that sound more like livestock than fitness, this 12-minute tale is a journey through self-delusion, physical exhaustion, and ultimate perspective.
What started as a confident return to basics became a masterclass in humility. Rob’s key takeaway? “I’m no good, but I’m better than I was.” Whether you're a yoga newbie or a seasoned sweat-soaker, you’ll find plenty to laugh at — and maybe a little truth too.
