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.

Rob Raffety is feeling dangerous in the best way after a monster hot yoga session. In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, he reflects on the thrill of unexpectedly crushing class, the satisfaction of finally locking into a monthly flow, and the chaos that comes from entering yoga with a sleep-deprived, candy-fueled brain. Along the way, he offers a classic observational detour on why some iconic songs should be left alone, especially when they get reworked into awkward modern remixes.
Funny, loose, and full of momentum, this episode is a perfect snapshot of the Hot Yoga Problems vibe: physical struggle, mental absurdity, and the occasional burst of delusional athletic confidence.
