How many calories does Ashtanga yoga burn?

According to FitDay, a typical 60-minute Ashtanga yoga class burns around 300 calories. This rate of calorie burn is approximately equivalent to walking four miles in one hour.

However, the Houston Chronicle states that the amount of calories burned during a yoga class depends on an individual's weight, the length of the class and the type of yoga practiced. The Houston Chronicle notes that a 155-pound person burns 544 calories in a 90-minute class of Ashtanga yoga. The same person burns only 293 calories doing less intensive Hatha yoga, but 739 calories in a 90-minute hot yoga class and over 900 calories doing the most intensive Vinyasa yoga.
