In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety recounts an unforgettable morning: a fire alarm welcomes him to class, strobe lights flashing, and some folks evacuating — except the yogis, who flow through the madness before normalcy resumes. From comedic misfires (photosensitivity vs. photosynthesis) to sincere reflections on aging, neighborhood joy, and technology’s upside, this is 14 minutes of pure Raff’s Brain: funny, thoughtful, and wonderfully weird.
Flow with Rob as he breaks down:
- How to practice yoga under full-blown fire alarm conditions
- The power of adapting (and towel over the face techniques)
- A shout-out to courageous yoga instructors
- Turning 50 and watching a new generation arrive next door
- The critical importance of knowing how to drive stick in a post-apocalyptic world
