Estimate calories burned during yoga by style and duration.
Energy cost varies more than twofold across yoga styles, with hot and power practices approaching brisk walking while restorative and yin remain close to rest. Hot yoga's higher figure reflects thermoregulation as well as movement. Yoga's main benefits are mobility, balance and strength rather than energy expenditure, so calorie burn is a poor measure of its value.
