Calories Burned by Yoga Style
Hatha: 175-250 cal/hour. Vinyasa: 300-450 cal/hour. Power/Ashtanga: 400-550 cal/hour. Bikram/hot: 450-700 cal/hour. Yin/Restorative: 100-175 cal/hour. Heavier individuals burn proportionally more. Hot yoga burns 30-50% more than the same poses at room temperature due to elevated heart rate.
Yoga vs Other Exercise
While yoga burns fewer calories per hour than running, its indirect benefits — reduced cortisol, better sleep, increased body awareness — often contribute more to long-term weight management than raw calorie burn. Regular yoga practitioners maintain healthier body weight despite lower per-session expenditure.
NASA research found yoga improves balance by 30% and core strength by 20% in just 8 weeks — making it one of the most efficient low-impact exercises studied.
