Bootcamps are not for everyone.

> Bootcamps aren't for everyone.

DBC grad here (Chicago 2013). Mandatory morning yoga is not an inherent part of a generic coding bootcamp experience. DBC chose to make yoga classes part of its unique culture, but I doubt all other bootcamps follow suit.

Personally, I wasn't "enraged" by the yoga and I even appreciated the emphasis on mental health, but I don't think yoga was the only way to achieve this and I would have appreciated the chance to opt out.

Why do other Bootcamps, that don't require morning yoga, do just fine then?

EDIT: Or I can be more mean: why is it the only bootcamp that required morning yoga, the one that is closing?
