TDEE Calculator for Yoga — Daily Calorie Needs

Calculate your TDEE with yoga as your primary exercise. See calorie and macro targets for different yoga practice intensities.

Yoga burns 150–450 calories per session depending on the style. Gentle/restorative yoga burns less, while power yoga and hot yoga burn significantly more. If yoga is your only exercise, "Light" or "Moderate" activity levels are appropriate. Yoga combined with other training may warrant a higher setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

The calories burned during yoga depend on intensity, duration, and your body weight. On average, a 70kg person burns 300–800 calories per hour. Use a higher activity level in the calculator if you do yoga regularly (3+ times per week).

If you do yoga 1–3 times per week, choose "Light" or "Moderate." For 4–6 sessions per week, choose "Active." If you train daily or have a physical job on top of yoga, choose "Very Active." When in doubt, go one level lower.

Yes, but the calorie burn varies widely by style. Vinyasa and power yoga can burn 300–500 calories/hour. Restorative yoga burns closer to 100–200. For TDEE purposes, 3–4 moderate yoga sessions per week typically fits the 'Light' activity level.
