I go to yoga class every Wed night. It's an hour and a half with one of those hours being constant movement vinyasa yoga (approx 15 minute warm up and 15 minute cool down). It can be quite a workout. MFP says 136 calories for an hour of yoga, but it seems like more than that to me because it's a bit more intense than some other yoga classes I've taken. Anybody ever track their calorie burn for this type of yoga? Please include your weight for comparison. thanks.

    Are you doing it in a heated room? Do you know what level it is, or is it Power Vinyasa? I do Vinyasa at Core Power, and they have different leves (C1, C2, C3...). The room is really hot for the higher level classes. I am also trying to figure out an accurate calorie burn for my classes...I did find something online that said Power Vinyasa (or Vinyasa Flow) burns between 300-400 calories per hour??

    I just found this on a yoga blog:


    VINYASA

    A dynamic form of yoga that connects postures and creates a flow between traditional yoga postures. The 'Vinyasa flow' is used especially during the Sun Salutation series. Calories burned in Vinyasa Yoga: 445 per hour

    Same as: moderate bike riding for one hour

    I hope that helps!
