Yoga Bootcamp provides the tools to have your own Baptiste 3 day bootcamp experience at home. There is a workbook outlining the 3 days activities and diet, 2 CDs of yoga practices and meditation as well as flash cards to go along with each posture. There is no music...just Baron's voice.

HOWEVER, I didn't buy this kit for a total yoga immersion experience but for the yummy 20m practices. These have been great for helping me to include yoga on a regular basis. Some days it is just hard to fit in an hour or 90 min! practice.

There are 4 practices (one 75m practice, one 20m vinyasa flow , one 20m core sequence, one 20m hip sequence) and a 10m guided meditation in the kit. I've just tried the 20m practices so far and really like them all. The hip sequence is my favorite as I tend to get very tight hipflexors, quads, and hamstrings.

The flashcards have come in handy for me to get in a little practice while my family hogs the TV/DVD players. No equipment needed!

Just be warned that there is some woo-woo as these are practices intended to have a more spiritual focus. For example, Baron opens each practice with 3 ohm chants and holds encourages you to let go of your work, family troubles, etc. while you are held captive in downward dog for 5 breaths.

If you are a fan of Baron's other practices and like doing yoga to audio CDs, I think you'll really enjoy these. What a great bargain at $16.99 on Amazon!

Instructor Comments:
Baron Baptiste is one of my favorite instructors -- Unlocking Athletic Power was the first practice to really pique my interest in yoga.
