Answers:
I'd just be guessing but I'd say "not very many"!.

Yoga doesn't really get your heart rate up into the aerobic range where calories are burned off!.

What you might do is check your heart rate at the 40 minute mark and then do the arithmetic!.

Or if you're not very computationally-inclined, hop onto something like a stationary bike or elliptical machine which usually have a digital readout on them showing heart rate , time and calories burned!.
Just work yourself up to the same heart rate that you achieved/determined with yoga and maintain that for some known period of time (say 5 mintues) then see what the readout says and do the necessary multiplication for the time that you spend doing yoga!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't know!. i do know yoga is very healthy for you and is a great way of exercisingWww@Answer-Health@Com
