Yoga vs Pilates

An hour of yoga burns about 220 kcal, an hour of Pilates about 220 as well. It is a draw, unless the yoga is power yoga.

The difference

0 kcal burned

Both are slow, controlled and work on strength and flexibility, so they burn about the same. Half an hour of either is about 110 kcal.

An hour of power yoga is about 295 kcal, because you keep moving between poses. These numbers are for about 70 kg.

Neither is mainly about burning calories. Pick the class you enjoy, and type "yoga 1 hour" in Caltype to add it back.
