Looking for approx. calories burned during a 60 minute hot yoga sesh. I don't buy what I read online that I can burn up to 900 calories in 1 work 60 minute session. Anyone know a way I can figure out a more accurate assessment?

    Same calories as in a regular vinyasa session. The heat makes you sweat but I don't know how it would burn more calories than doing it in a cooler room.

    I found a good study - after I posted this actually. Around 300 calories. Which is around what I thought. Not that I am overly concerned with the calories burned. I work out because I enjoy it not the # of calories.

    I did hot yoga (not bikram) for a long time and always read it was between 300-500, depending on your weight and on the vigorousness of the class.

    I burn about 500 calories in vinyasa.
