In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety takes a gloriously winding walk through the challenges and absurdities of the Bird Dog Pose — a move that starts simple and ends with a strap-assisted backbend worthy of Cirque du Soleil. You’ll get unexpected thoughts on yoga class music (spoiler: Neil Young’s Harvest Moon does not need a techno remix), reflections on post-yoga locker room traffic jams, and a nostalgic nod to Halloween candy of the 80s. All delivered with Rob’s signature wit, humility, and barely-contained exasperation.
Outline (No Timestamps):
- Opening obsession: Bird Dog Pose and why it deserves elite status.
- Tabletop to crunch mode: how yoga always has another level.
- The "Baby Bird Dog" and the perils of advanced variations.
- Yoga straps and the fine line between slang and scandal.
- Music in class: when throwbacks go wrong.
- Techno Harvest Moon = auditory sabotage.
- Locker room delays and the Beltway vs. Deep South pace of life.
- Halloween prep and 80s candy greatness.
