does anyone know how many calories you burn doing 90mins of bikram yoga? and does it count as a work out? i was trying to find it in the exercise database and it isn't there at all.

I have found a great calculator that lets you know according to your gender, height and weight exactly how many calories you burn during 90 minutes of bikram yoga. It is http://www.my-calorie-counter.com (you do have to sign up but it’s free!), under the tools is an activity/exercise list and if you search “bikram” - click on conditioning exercise - Bikram Yoga, enter your details and change it from 1 hour to 1.5 hours and calculate it will give you an estimation! I think it’s the most accurate calculator I’ve found!

There is another site but only has “gentle” or “vigorous” yoga as options - no Bikram. This one is good for figuring out other types of exercising. http://www.self.com/fitness/calculators/

It is a type of Yoga that you do in a very hot room .. Bikram Yoga is a system of yoga that Bikram Choudhury synthesized from traditional yoga techniques and popularized beginning in the early 1970s. Bikram's classes run exactly 90 minutes and consist of a set series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Bikram Yoga is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F (≈ 40.6°C) with a humidity of 40%, causing it to be categorized as a form of hot yoga.
