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

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.

How long ago were your surgeries?

Which surgery did you have?

How soon post-op did you return back to work?

Any vomiting?

[OKCPirate 5,323]

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..
