Try to fit it in everyday. I feel like it's not a huge calorie burner though.. do you guys count it in your exercise diary?

I do yoga on the Wii Fit and I count it. I also do cardio prior to up the calorie burn.0

I do a 75 minute Vinyasa yoga class twice a week. I log my yoga classes. I don't know about you, but I work hard when I do yoga. No, it's not much calories, but I get a good sweat on. I only count 60 minutes of it because I tend to cheat. hahah!!0

I count it! I use an app called Yoga Studio that use maybe once or twice a week, and MFP tells me I burn about 240 calories for 60 minutes. I walk and do other things for exercise too, so it hasn't been my only form of exercise. Every calorie I burn gets counted, lol.0

Uh, YEAH! I'd recommend using a HRM if you're not already. I can burn decent calories doing yoga.0

I definitely count yoga, though I err on the conservative side because the physical intensity of my practice varies a lot from day to day. Just remember not to count the meditation periods when figuring calorie burn. Sometimes that hour class is closer to 40 minutes for cardio purposes--but the meditation is part of why I love yoga.0

I don't log anymore, but I do count yoga. Many days it's my only form of exercise. I usually practice 10-14 hours a week.
There's a yoga group that is open to all, if you like to talk about yoga more:
