Does anyone know approx how much hot yoga burns? I've read online 800 to 1000 per hr! I think that is an exaggeration!

    I did several online calculators for hot yoga for my height/weight and I came up with an average of 650 calories in a 60-minute class. I feel like it's a little high, so I entered 550 calories per class in my exercise diary. I DO notice an increased heart rate during my hot power vinyasa class, so it could be burning more than I think.

    You can burn between 600-1000 cals taking a 90 min class.

    Get a good HRM with a chest strap and make sure you can program your age/gender/height/weight/max hr, v02 --- otherwise everything is just a guess. Most sites are much higher than the truth (as much I hated to realize that when I first started using my HRM for everything)
