Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob Raffety wrestles with the moment every seasoned yogi faces: when the flow starts to feel too... automatic. A surprise sub teaches class, the sweat pours, but Rob’s brain? It’s off planning dinner.Why do we zone out just when we should be zoning in? What does it say about mastery, mindfulness, and the quiet mediocrity of the plateau? This funny, observant, and slightly delirious take will resonate with anyone who's ever caught themselves halfway through a workout—or a workday—wondering, “Wait, how did I get here?”Outline:Opening thoughts: subs, sweat, and surprise annihilationRob’s go-to yoga clichés and what they revealAutopilot alert: when you know the flow too wellThe mental drift and time distortion of sufferingThe plateau of competence and the myth of “doing fine”The transcendence of Shavasana (and accidental psychedelia)Closing thoughts: discomfort as a teacher, and Nancy Reagan as a sign-off📞 Call the Raff's Brain Hotline!
