If I do a thirty minute session of a generic yoga video with the beginner moves is there any real calories burned? I'm not unfit or overweight, wanting to gain muscle. Just wondering if yoga can be used as exercise or how any of you track that exercise. I know that there are many benefits for yoga other than burning calories.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

    Hatha Yoga burns about 75-80 calories for a half hour session. I use it to strengthen muscles and stretch, also to relax, but it's not cardio, and it's not a huge calorie burner.
