Raff's Brain #113: Hot Yoga Problems - Namaste or Nah? Cereal, Soreness, & the Sun Gods!

In this brutally honest installment of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety emerges from a 5:30AM class dazed, drenched, and deeply confused. Wrestling with muscle pain, mental haze, and a weird post-cereal energy crash, Rob lays out three competing theories for his sorry state — including potential sickness, a rogue long walk, and the classic "two-bowl cereal trap."

From pollen denial to rooster sauce as medicine, this episode blends raw vulnerability with vintage Raffety reflections. It’s a funny, foggy, yogic journey — and one we’ve all been on in some form.
