Calories Burned Kundalini Yoga Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned during Kundalini Yoga is:
Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * Duration in minutes) / 60
Variables:
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, a unit that estimates the energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. Kundalini Yoga has an average MET value of 2.9.
- Weight is the body weight in kilograms (to convert from pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.20462).
- Duration is the length of the yoga session in minutes.
To calculate the calories burned, first convert your weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply by the MET value for Kundalini Yoga and the duration of your session. Finally, divide by 60 to convert from minutes to hours.
What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is a form of yoga that involves chanting, singing, breathing exercises, and repetitive poses. Its purpose is to activate your Kundalini energy, or shakti, which is believed to be located at the base of your spine. As a form of exercise, it is not as intense as other types of yoga, but it still helps in burning calories and improving flexibility, strength, and mental well-being.

Example Problem:
Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you did Kundalini Yoga for 30 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:
First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 pounds / 2.20462 = 68 kg
Then, use the formula: (2.9 MET * 68 kg * 30 minutes) / 60 = 96.2 calories burned
