Does any one know about how many calories are burned during a hot yoga session? I know it is more than the typical yoga class, but not sure the exact amount.

    I wore my HRM to a few classes. Burn was up around 600 both times. My heart rate was up there pretty much the whole class. I know a guy who qualified to run the Boston marathon and does bootcamp 3 days a week. Hot yoga kicks his butt......

    I LOVE it, it's so intense and also puts my mind and body in a good place- but I had no idea what the calorie burn would be for the class. Thanks so much for answering! =)

    I have been doing hot yoga flow 3 times a week for the past two years and love it! I am switching up to the hot yoga with weights and wonder if anybody knows how many calories those kinds of classes burn.

    Awesome! I'm sure it's more than just regular yoga. Were you doing "Bikram Yoga" or another style?
