Does anyone know how many calories you burn doing hot yoga?



Recommended Posts

Started doing hot yoga classes, mostly for the stretching and balance, but I suspect I am burning some serious calories. Anyone have any good numbers?

They have a mid-town and Edmond location. Mon and Wed at 6 they have a beginners level class, with core work. Great stuff. I am usually the only guy in the class sans the instructor so please introduce yourself Soonergal91.

Probably not as much as you think.. yoga, and hot yoga is awesome, but i mostly sweated during a 90 minute class.. I burned around 400 calories.. as opposed to about 800 if i was biking.. but it was a good stretch.

Try wearing a heart rate monitor.

  • Chrystee, great idea, will do that tomorrow night. I find that I double up workouts on Yoga days, I'll throw in a 3 mile run after 5 or 6 hours of re-hydration ;-)

I normally do yoga on my rest days.. Otherwise, I'd do the cardio prior to the class.. you want to relax.

Does this include calories burned during the post-exercise trip to the ER? :)

I commend you - hot yoga scares the crap out of me.

Surgery was Nov 7, could have been able to return to work on the 9th, but waited until 11th. Only vomiting was when I tried pizza two months later and didn't chew it enough ;-) I had the sleeve

Based on my heart rate monitor and some sites I found online which does the math, I burn 594 calories during an one hour session.

I love hot yoga. At first I was also scared of it but I did a lot of other yoga classes at first: foundations, then some flow or vinyasa classes and now I do hot yoga about 3x a week and vinyasa 2x. The vinyasa yoga poses are more challenging but the hot is absolutely cathartic and cleansing. I think or at least my apple watch tells me I'm burning approx 200 calories in a vinyasa and about 300in a hot yoga class.

That's fantastic.. I never burned that much, maybe 3-400.. even really large.. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
