Raff's Brain #165: Hot Yoga Problems - BIRD DOG is ELITE! Harvest Moon Techno! Locker Loiterers!

In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety takes a gloriously winding walk through the challenges and absurdities of the Bird Dog Pose — a move that starts simple and ends with a strap-assisted backbend worthy of Cirque du Soleil. You’ll get unexpected thoughts on yoga class music (spoiler: Neil Young’s Harvest Moon does not need a techno remix), reflections on post-yoga locker room traffic jams, and a nostalgic nod to Halloween candy of the 80s. All delivered with Rob’s signature wit, humility, and barely-contained exasperation.

Outline (No Timestamps):
