Bikram calorie burn

Anyone any ideas how to guesstimate kcal used in hot yoga/Bikram class?

It’s more physically demanding than slower types so I don’t think the kcal given for yoga on mfp would be right.

    Unrelated, this season of ESPN's 30 for 30 Podcast series was a five-part arc about Bikram yoga that I found fascinating. Worth a listen IMO

    High temperature does not really equal higher calorie burn. Your heart might beat faster and you feel exhausted easier, but again, both are not related to calorie burn either.

    Yep sadly I know the temp doesn’t make a difference which is why I’m ignoring the google results I got that say stupid amounts .... however nice it’d be to believe I’d blitz zillions of kcal in a single class

    Thanks I’m a newbie and hasn’t found the search bit- so thread much appreciated
