Frequently Asked Questions

Why is gentle yoga only 2.5 MET?

Gentle styles focus on breathing and passive stretching. Active flows burn 60–100% more because they keep the body in motion.

Is this a good weight-loss tool?

Yoga burns fewer calories than running, but it improves mobility, recovery and stress response — all of which indirectly support long-term weight management.
