    I LOVE LOVE LOVE hot yoga, however, I don't rely on it solely for my weight loss. Hot yoga is more for my all around mental well being :-). I do hot yoga once or twice a week, do a kettlebell class once or twice a week, and fill in the remainder of the days with gym days. :-)

    I've done 30 day challenges in Bikram yoga and don't lose much weight, but I feel better and can eat anything I want without gaining because I tend to want less when I'm doing it regularly. I've worn a HRM in class and it says I burned like 800 calories but that's impossible. It's overestimating due to the heat causing elevated HR (which is good for me, too, I'm pretty sure). If I burned 800 calories per session, I would've lost more weight. I did it 4-6 times/week for 9 months recently. I lost about 10 lbs. the first 2 months and then nothing more, though I didn't 'diet' and didn't gain.
