Enjoy a yoga routine for 20 minutes. Pop in your favorite yoga DVD and complete a stretching session for at least 20 minutes.

Yoga makes me feel strong and empowered, so âhow many caloriesâ I burned isnât one of the reasons why I practice. After last weekâs class, I went home and Googled âcalories burned in hot vinyasa yogaâ â and I got a few different results. However, the main consensus was that on average, a woman my size burns approximately 560 calories an hour in a hot yoga class. I had seen some reports saying that some people will burn an upwards of 1,000 calories in a hot yoga class, but that is out of control!
