Yoga is hardly the only way to get in shape, and this ancient practice burns calories on par with several other forms of exercise. A 145-pound person will burn 296 calories in 60 minutes of moderate jumping jacks, 339 calories in 60 minutes of intermediate Pilates and 461 calories in 60 minutes of high-impact aerobics.
