Question on Hot Yoga - how many calories does one actually burn? Also, is there a better option when logging this other than yoga? I feel like 145 (or so calories) cant be right. But maybe it is?

    It's not as much as people think. It can vary based on how active of a session it is, but the heat doesn't add to the calorie burn.

    I practice Vinyasa yoga 3-4 times a week and just accept the calorie burn that MFP gives me with the yoga entry. I suspect it's underestimating as my practice is very vigorous, but better that than overestimating. In my opinion, anyway.

    Now, cold yoga would burn more calories.
