How many calories do you really burn doing yoga?

I've seen such conflicting answers. This site says for my weight I burn191 calories for 75 minutes of yoga, but my yoga teachers tell me I'm probably burning more like 300 and up to 600 for the 75 minute class. I do hot vinyasa yoga. I know it's more vigorous than hatha yoga because it's also a lot of cardio. Just wondering if anyone has and answer or opinion!

    I find most of the site's calorie counts for exercise high, but for yoga I find it low. I change the 151 calories it give me for 55 minutes of yoga to 200. I figure it's power yoga, so it's more vigorous, but its at home, so its not hot. I think if I were you I'd go with 300 for a 75 min class.
