Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced form in the United States. It's great for beginners because it teaches basic yoga poses.
Vinyasa yoga is just moving with your breath, making sure that on an inhale you're coming up or on an exhale, you're maybe forward folding.
If you're an advanced athlete, ashtanga yoga might be for you. It focuses on building strength.
Bikram or "hot" yoga, is practiced in a heated room. It's is very intense and not for everyone, especially those who are pregnant, or who have high blood pressure or other health concerns.
If you're looking for something therapeutic, try iyengar, also known as yin yoga. It uses blocks and bolsters to ensure proper alignment and increase flexibility.
Regardless of the type of yoga you choose, just trying it is the key to expanding your fitness flexibility.
