I don’t think yoga is a super calorie burning kind of exercise, but it’s still beneficial.

Yoga practice will also helps to increase your body metabolism, increase the calorie burning process, but it is not a method of giving immediate results. So, by following the rigors placed by yoga practice provides you a holistic, long-term solution in order to balance your life style and to avoid any excessive body weight.

It completely depends on the type of yoga you are doing. I found a web page that lists approximate calories burned for different types of yoga, so am supplying you that link:
Keep in mind that if you do want to burn calories, then you should employ some type of cardio into your workout. While calorie burning is not high on the list of benefits from yoga, there are many more benefits above and beyond that, as I’m sure you are noticing as you continue your practice. Keep up the yoga just as you are doing, but maybe start employing a 15 minute run each day, or every other day, or some other vigorous exercise that gets and keeps your heart rate up and your body sweating. Yoga is an awesome way to get fit, as well, though, as you begin to feel better, drink more water, eat less junk, and make healthier food choices.
Good for you, keep it up!
