Raff's Brain #284: Core Sculpt Is Awful. It Might Also Be Working.

After years of hot yoga, I was starting to think my greatest achievement was getting consistently crushed. Then I added Core Sculpt twice a week—and something appears to be working.

In this episode of Hot Yoga Problems, I celebrate a surprisingly strong morning yoga class less than a day after another grueling Sculpt session. Apparently, the weights, burpees, and private negotiations with my own mortality might be paying off.

Now comes the next challenge: a father-son road trip. Can I enjoy vacation without treating it as a formal resignation from every healthy habit?

Along the way: a cautious promotion from the three-pound weights, an accidental census of neighborhood dog walkers, and the challenge of applying “set your intention” somewhere beyond a yoga mat.

In this episode:
- Feeling stuck on a hot yoga plateau.
- Committing to Core Sculpt at least twice a week.
- Noticing progress in strength and endurance.
- Preparing to maintain healthy habits while traveling.
- Taking intention off the mat and into everyday life.
