In this episode of Raff's Brain - Hot Yoga Problems - Rob emerges from a soul-stretching Yin Yoga class and takes us on a ride - literally and metaphorically. Broadcasting from downtown Buckhannon, WV, he reflects on the deceptive difficulty of Yin Yoga, the joys and pains of rediscovering the jump rope, and the ever-evolving etiquette of tipping culture. From foot cramps in Child’s Pose to tipping for a chicken salad sandwich, Rob lays it all out with signature warmth, wit, and introspection. Come for the yoga pain, stay for the philosophical musings on preemptive vs. retrospective tips.
