Raff's Brain
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.

Raff's Brain #192: Hot Yoga Problems - Yoga in Buckhannon? BELIEVE IT, BABY!
In this on-location installment of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob returns to his hometown of Buckhannon, WV, and stumbles upon a beautiful surprise: a thriving yoga scene in a town where that once felt impossible. Broadcasting with incense in the air and deer in the yard, Rob breaks down his experience at Soulshine Yoga—from $10 drop-ins to unexpected shavasana bliss. Plus, reflections on 80s childhood, Chinese takeout marathons, driving with the dome light on, and why every small town deserves a little zen.
