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 #209: Hot Yoga Problems - Return of the SLOTH!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After six days off, I return to hot yoga — and it’s absolute carnage.
In this Hot Yoga Problems episode, I unpack the mental spiral of falling off routine, the speed of physical regression, and the brutal honesty required to admit when you’ve been “Sloth Central.” From the mystery of Reverse Horse pose to the temptation of GLP-1 weight loss meds as the ultimate cheat code, this episode dives into discipline, entropy, regret, and the fight to build real consistency.
It’s funny. It’s self-aware. It’s painfully relatable.
And it ends where it always should: gratitude for showing up.
