Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does yoga burn?
A 150-lb person burns approximately 150-200 calories per hour of Hatha yoga, 300-400 for Vinyasa/Flow, and 400-500 for Power or Ashtanga yoga. Hot yoga burns similar calories to Ashtanga (the heat does not significantly increase calorie burn).
Which type of yoga burns the most calories?
Power Yoga and Ashtanga burn the most calories (5-6 METs) due to their physically demanding nature. Vinyasa/Flow is next (4 METs). Gentle styles like Hatha and Yin focus on flexibility and relaxation rather than calorie burn (2-3 METs).
Is yoga good for weight loss?
While yoga burns fewer calories than high-intensity exercise, it supports weight loss through stress reduction (lowering cortisol), improved body awareness, better sleep, and mindful eating habits. Vigorous styles like Vinyasa and Power Yoga provide the highest calorie burn.
