I love doing the MTV yoga dvd, i got it ages ago, but I can't find anywhere on the database the calorie burn for it. Does anyone have a rough idea of how many calories yoga burns? it's pretty fast and strenuous!

I found this online, hope it helps!!
HATHA YOGA
A gentle form a Yoga, the most common form that focuses on basic postures that flow in and out with emphasis on breathing techniques. Hatha Yoga is what most people in the West associate with the word "Yoga" and is practiced for mental and physical health.
Calories burned in Hatha Yoga: 175 per hour
Same as: a slow walk
ASHTANGA YOGA
The eight limbs connoted by the word 'Ashtanga' refer specifically to the eight spiritual practices outlined by the Yoga Sutra, the original Yoga text which is just as relevant today as when first composed. 'Ashtanga' can be composed of 6 set series, each increasing with more difficulty. It is usually combined or referred to as Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (see below).
Calories burned in Ashtanga Yoga: 300 per hour
Same as: a brisk walk
POWER YOGA
An Americanized version of Ashtanga Vinyasa that intensifies poses by moving more rapidly between one pose to the other. Power Yoga can also refer to a shortened version of a Yoga class. i.e. a 45 minute class versus a 60 or 90 minute class but the benefits are seemingly the same because the pace of class is quickened.
Calories burned in Power Yoga: 300 per hour
Same as: a brisk walk
VINYASA YOGA
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
BIKRAM and HOT YOGA
Bikram Yoga is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F (40.5°C) with a humidity of 40%. Classes include 26 postures, guided by specific dialogue and breathing techniques.
Calories burned in Bikram or Hot Yoga: 630 per hour
Same as: jogging for one hour0 -
