Yoga
With yoga in the West we usually mean hatha yoga, a system of exercises to gain control over (especially) body and mind.
Yoga (/ˈjoʊɡə/ (listen);[1] Sanskrit: योग, lit. 'yoke' or 'union' pronounced [joːɡɐ]) is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control (yoke) and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind (Chitta) and mundane suffering (Duḥkha).

Hatha Vinyasa Yoga
Dynamic postures alternate with static postures. In the dynamic part you move from one pose to another in a certain sequence. Because the class goes more in a flow, at least 3 months of yoga experience is required.
Ashtanga Led
Dynamic and challenging form of yoga where you practice a fixed sequence of postures each time. Because nothing changes in the sequence, it is a nice way to check in with yourself. At least 3 months of yoga is required and it is nice if you are somewhat familiar with the Ashtanga sequence.
Yin Yoga
Hold deep stretches, mainly in basic positions, from 3 to 5 minutes. This is to make the connective tissue and joints stronger and more flexible and to be present in the physical, mental and emotional body.
