What happens when your hot yoga class only has two students? Rob Raffety takes us inside the most intimate group session imaginable—a 6AM class on the Monday before a holiday, where sparse attendance and a substitute instructor create a strangely intense dynamic. With only one other student, Rob faces the pressure of hyper-visibility, replays memories of one-on-one training, and reflects on what class size really does to the yoga experience. It’s awkward, insightful, and just sweaty enough to qualify as a full Raff’s Brain breakdown.
Outline:
- Rob's early arrival and the eerie quiet of an empty studio
- Hot yoga vs. yoga sculpt: A tough call avoided
- The "how small is too small" question of class legitimacy
- Flashback to personal training and yoga beginnings
- The moment a class becomes a class: 2 students, 1 instructor
- Substitute teacher steps in and delivers a killer session
- Hyper-awareness in small groups: Pressure to perform
- Performance self-assessment: Rob’s honesty hour
- The comedy and comfort in the awkward
- A quick, reflective wrap-up
