How to Burn More Calories in Yoga Class

Don't Rest Between Postures

Your instructor might suggest resting in Child's Pose between postures, but if your breath feels steady and you don't feel the need to rest, skip it and do a vinyasa between postures instead (here's a video showing how to do one). Or you can always use those five breaths to work on a challenging pose like kicking up into handstand, as long as it seems appropriate for the class. Some instructors will give you the evil eye if you stray too far from the sequence they've laid out. So be respectful.
