In this Hot Yoga Problems episode of Raff’s Brain, Rob walks into his local hot yoga studio expecting the usual stretch-and-sweat routine. Instead, he's greeted by an absurd ask: three blocks and a strap. What follows is 10 minutes of creative prop usage, unexpected balance challenges, and a deep dive into aging eyes, daylight savings confusion, and what happens when life changes gradually—until it doesn’t.

Equal parts yoga recap, philosophical reflection, and observational humor, this one’s for anyone who’s ever questioned their grip on reality during a downward dog.

Outline:

• Rob’s bewildered arrival: three blocks and a strap?!
• Grappling with the seasonal shift: darkness, rain, and headlights
• Thoughts on daylight savings and whether we’re saving anything at all
• Yoga prop architecture: kickstands, half moons, and balance games
• First-time asymmetrical bird dogs: a case study in creative torture
• Aging and the growing challenge of driving at night
• The “75-year threshold”: Is that when it all goes downhill?
• What gradual change teaches us—and why it still surprises us
• Wrap-up: survival, self-awareness, and stretching the limits (literally)
