Lane Kiffin's hot yoga obsession takes over Baton Rouge image

Lane Kiffin’s hot yoga obsession has already followed him to Baton Rouge, offering an unexpected twist to LSU’s latest coaching splash.

The newly hired Tigers coach attended a high-temperature session at Yoglates Studio shortly after arriving in Louisiana, documenting the workout on social media. Starting Day 1 off right with a hot and sweaty workout. 

Kiffin has long credited hot yoga as a fixture in his schedule and a critical outlet for mental clarity, making the workout “mandatory” in his daily routine at Ole Miss. 

During ESPN’s recent documentary profiling his career, Kiffin discussed the discipline of yoga as foundational to managing the noise that surrounds him, particularly in high-pressure decision windows like the coaching carousel.

Whether intentional or incidental, the optics reflect a coach stepping into Baton Rouge’s already intense spotlight fully comfortable controlling the temperature.

LSU now has a coach who voluntarily turns the dial higher. If this is a preview for Year 1 in Death Valley, it could be both one of the hottest eras in program history.
