| Class Pace | Factor | 150 lb for 60 Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Gentle | 0.01826 | 164 calories |
| Standard | 0.01984 | 179 calories |
| Active | 0.02381 | 214 calories |

What Changes the Total
- Longer classes: calories rise directly with time.
- More standing work: sequences with lunges, balances, and repeated transitions raise the total.
- Less rest: shorter pauses between poses keep calories climbing faster.
- Higher class pace: active Hatha sessions burn more than gentle classes.
Hatha Yoga and Calorie Tracking
Hatha Yoga usually combines held postures, controlled transitions, balance work, and breathing. Compared with faster flow-based classes, it often burns calories at a steadier pace, but 45- to 60-minute sessions can still add up quickly and are easy to compare with the calculator.
