    Default calories burnt during yoga

    i've been reading some sites about how many cals you can burn during yoga, and they say the average is 200/hour. is this accurate? that seems like an awful lot of cals for not much cardio.

    i also looked up, specifically, hot vansaya, or something like that, for my weight..and it said over 400 cals/hour...and these sites were not yoga sites trying to sell classes either.

    Sure, it's accurate. Walking for an hour at 3mph (which is a pretty moderate pace) burns 200 calories an hour too.

    i dunno. i'm a big fan of yoga, but i don't expect it to burn so many calories. but then, i don't know what weight you put in.

    even though i don't think it burns many calories, it is good for weight control, for me at least, because it helps me lower stress and prevents emotional eating. so it still helps.

    I freaking love yoga for relaxing.
    I never really thought of yoga as a calorie burner,
    but SWEET if it is
