    Dunno.. I do Vinyasa classes and just count them as 150 and call it good. I dont do yoga for the calorie burn, nor do I do hot yoga :/

    I looked into it a bit online, and the counts vary drastically depending on the site. The general consensus off the most reputable sites is that hot yoga burns more calories, but not by much, about 200/hr. I do Bikram regularly and just log it under vinyasa, I figure its better to underestimate calorie burn than overestimate it

    I do hot yoga regularly. I just log it as regular yoga. Even then I feel like it's a high number. Depends on the yoga. Some of the hot yoga classes I've taken have been more about stretching, some have been much more energetic.

    I don't do hot yoga, but I do some restorative yoga...I love it. I'm sure I don't burn much calorie wise, as the poses are pretty passive, but it is just great recovery for me from other stuff that I do from training to work related stress.

    Any form of yoga I've ever done has been awesome and well worth doing regardless of the calories expended...which probably isn't a whole lot regardless of style.

    I usually take the MFP number and cut it in half. No way I'm burning 500+ calories... Even with power yoga!

    I'm possibly burning around 300 calories for a 75 minute Ashtanga Yoga Primary series practise daily, but have stopped adding this as calories to be consumed back - just take it as a bonus as I lose fat weight.
    - I may review this when I reach my target composition.
