Raff's Brain #153: Hot Yoga Problems - How Many Half Moons Do I Have Left?

In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, Rob reflects on a moment of unexpected bliss: a hands-on yoga assist so good, it might have spiritually ruined him forever. From the perils of parking lot exits to the linguistics of "grasped" vs. "clasped," Rob’s comedic monologue explores the joyful torment of consistency, balance, and the bitter knowledge that once you've experienced the perfect Half Moon assist… most future yoga classes will be a letdown.

As week two of his Fitness at 50 transformation unfolds, Rob is feeling stronger, lighter, and a little more awake (kind of). But he’s also got questions. How many Half Moons do we have left in this life? And what would it cost to hire a private yogi just for that one perfect pose?

Highlights:

•  Daily hot yoga = daily survival story
•  Week 2 reflections: fitness progress, long-term mindset
•  The mechanics (and magic) of a perfect Half Moon assist
•  The sadness of knowing it won’t happen again
•  Calculating the number of Half Moons left in life
•  Pricing out a full-time personal yoga assistant
•  Ending on a note of sleepy hope and recalibration
