Hatha Yoga "In Sanskrit (a traditional classical language of India) "Ha" means "sun" and "tha" means "moon". This sort of Yoga is a relatively slow paced, gentle sort of Yoga and is a neat place to start if you're new to Yoga and do not know any of the asanas (poses). Like all types of Yoga, Hatha Yoga aims to combine the mind, body and spirit.
Ashtanga Yoga "Ashtanga means "eight limbs" in Sanskrit. It's a fast moving, intense style of Yoga based on a progressive sequence of asanas, synchronized with the breath. Ashtanga Yoga can be quite physically demanding as you are continually move from one asana in the sequence to the next so you will find that it'll improve your stamina as well as your adaptability and strength..
Power Yoga "This is a western interpretation of Yoga and relies on Ashtanga Yoga. A Power Yoga class may not really stick to the exact sequence of poses like Ashtanga Yoga does, but it involves practicing a collection of poses without stopping and beginning.
Iyengar Yoga "This kind of Yoga is reliant on teachings by B.K.S Igengar and focuses on the correct alignment and type of the body. Unlike Ashtanga Yoga, there's stress on holding each pose for a substantial period of time instead of moving consistently from one pose to the next. Iyengar Yoga uses props like blocks and straps to help align the body into the different poses.
Vinyasa Yoga "Vinyasa means breath-synchronized movement and is another fast paced type of Yoga, with an emphasis on respiring. A practice typically starts with sun salutations and moves on to more intensified stretching. Across the practice each pose is balanced with a counter pose.
Bikram Yoga "Otherwise known as "Hot Yoga", Bikram Yoga is practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees, with a humidity of almost 40%. Often a sequence of 26 different poses is practiced in a Bikram Yoga class and the hot temperature helps to loosen muscles. Because of the high temperature the great majority of people sweat a lot during the class and this helps to clean the body of poisons.
If you are only starting out or have not done any Yoga before, you might want to try one or two differing types of yoga to find out what you like best. Remember, there's no rule that announces you have to stick to one type of Yoga.
