Raff's Brain #155: Hot Yoga Problems - I SUCK at Hot Yoga (And That’s Okay)!

In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety gets taken down a few notches by a deceptively chill Core 2 class. Riding high on a streak of good sessions, Rob walks in with swagger — only to walk out annihilated in body, mind, and spirit. From confusing transitions to poses that sound more like livestock than fitness, this 12-minute tale is a journey through self-delusion, physical exhaustion, and ultimate perspective.

What started as a confident return to basics became a masterclass in humility. Rob’s key takeaway? “I’m no good, but I’m better than I was.” Whether you're a yoga newbie or a seasoned sweat-soaker, you’ll find plenty to laugh at — and maybe a little truth too.

Outline (No Timestamps):

• The streak: Multiple classes of false confidence
• The big decision: Core 2 over Sculpt
• Starting on the stomach: A sign of things to come
• The individuality mantra and its strange resonance
• A chaotic, creative, and crushing flow
• Struggling to remember pose names (and his own name)
• Full-body fatigue and mental defeat
• Diet, discipline, and the long game of improvement
• The mindset reset: “Better than I was”
• Eternal truths of Hot Yoga: Just when you’re up, it knocks you back down
