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 #197: Hot Yoga Problems - Flying Frog Fails & Snowstorm Freakouts!
In this Hot Yoga Problems episode, Rob Raffety battles a Core 3 hot yoga class while the DC area melts down over an impending snowstorm. From mastering the flying frog (kind of) to fumbling a mystifying pose transition, it's an evening class full of sweat, sarcasm, and self-reflection. Enter Chatbot 5000—Rob’s digital frenemy—to roast his effort and remind him that sweat isn’t a personality trait. Plus, a side rant on the annual snowpocalypse hysteria that grips the DMV. Equal parts stretch, struggle, and sass—tune in and Namaste, mediocre mofos.
