    my avg HR during the heated vinyasa yoga classes was 140 which is right in my ideal range of 120-160, i was in that range for 46 of the 60 minute class with a max HR peak of 182-186. i still want to check the numbers for the unheated variant(will post here once i have just for peoples' reference).

    awesome! :drinker:

    using the average heart rate acheived in those 46 minutes he can then go to an online calorie calculater, enter his information and get a really good estimate of the exercise calories he burned as long as he subtracted out the few he would not have burned if he did not exercise.

    so, say you were at an average HR of 140bpm for 46 minutes, at your height and weight you will have burned......

    yup, my HRM said around 1060 calories burned each time, but that seemed a bit high to me so i plugged the info into a variety of online calculators and for my stats it came out to be around 800 calories per 60minutes on every calc! factoring in what i wouldve burned without the exercise it was about a 720 net.

    pretty good imho, no-impact workout thats pretty comparable to the cardio standards of running/biking while using bodyweight exercises for muscle stimulation :)
