Raff’s Brain is my playground for goofy stories, real-life adventures, and experiments in how openness, creativity, and technology can bring people together and improve our lives. Expect Hot Yoga Problems, Riffin’ with Raff, Drive & Jive / Walk & Talk, and various zany side projects that are sometimes cathartic, sometimes ridiculous, and hopefully worth your time.

Episode Summary:
Breathing: it seems simple—until you try doing it correctly in a hot yoga class. In this episode, we explore the challenge of syncing breath with movement, particularly during the grueling Sun B sequence. Our host shares his battle with Ujjayi breathing, his ever-elusive yogi goals, and his Valentine’s Day plans featuring copious amounts of melted cheese. Along the way, we detour into Costco regrets, indulgence justification, and the eternal (or terminal?) nature of the yoga journey.
Topics Covered:
- Understanding Sun B and its breath-to-movement challenge
- Can breathwork actually be mastered?
- Valentine’s Day fondue plans & Costco struggles
- Accepting (or resisting) the journey of yoga progress
