How many calories does doing yoga burn a minute?
Is the database right saying that yoga burns the same amount of calories as stretches? - especially when i find yoga like 4x more difficult that just stretching.
How many calories do you burn doing the P90x Yoga X workout?

    impossible to know without your weight height etc
    best guess is to get a heart rate monitor
    all other guesses will be inacurate

    About 5"7, 134 pounds.
    According to the database it is about 2.5 calories burnt a minute for both yoga and mild stretching.
    But i think this is too little for yoga x.. =/

    it depends on the general yoga class.

    if i get an instructor who's more into the stretchy style yoga, i burn like 200 calories (my heart rate rarely goes above 115) in an hour. but if i got to a class with a teacher who does more flowing style with lots of sun salutations and warrior poses, i can burn 450 calories in an hour and my heart rate averages around 135-145.
