The three main types of yoga are Hatha, Vinyasa, and Bikram. Hatha focuses on physical postures and breathing exercises, Vinyasa emphasizes flowing movements coordinated with breath, and Bikram involves a series of 26 poses practiced in a heated room. Each type of yoga varies in its focus, intensity, and style of practice.
The YMCA typically offers a variety of yoga styles, including Hatha, Vinyasa, and Restorative yoga. Hatha yoga focuses on basic postures and alignment, while Vinyasa involves a more dynamic flow of movements. Restorative yoga emphasizes relaxation and stress relief. The specific classes may vary by location, so it's best to check with your local YMCA for their offerings.
Bikram is a type of hot yoga. Hot yoga can describe any yoga practice done in a a heated room, from a slow Hatha class to a vigorous vinyasa sequence. Bikram classes, however,all adhere to a specific sequence of 26 poses developed by the practice's founder, Bikram Choudhury. The temperature for Bikram is set at 105 degrees Farenheit, while the heat in other hot classes can vary from the 80's to 105.
Power yoga is a recent Americanized version of yoga which takes hatha yoga principles and speeds them up into an extremely rigorous aerobic workout.

Ashtanga Yoga is actually Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Ashtanga means 'eight limbed' and Vinyasa means 'to place in a special way'. The eight limbs refers to the eight yogic paths in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Sometimes listed as separate types of classes at a yoga studio, Vinyasa yoga tends to be more fluid, and flowing; linking movement with breath. Vinyasa classes can be slow and gentle or more vigorous depending on the class description. Ashtanga, also a fluid class, is often a very specific set of poses done in a specific sequence. Power yoga, is a general phrase used in the West as a catch-all to describe vigorous, fitness-based yoga classes. They tend to flow like a Vinyasa class, but much faster and intense.
Iyengar, in order to enable more people to practise basic Hatha Yoga, invented "Iyengar Yoga" that is mostly practised outside India. Classical Hatha Yoga is more complex and encompasses a lot more.
I presume you mean Vinyasa flow yoga, which is a general term used to describe a practice which links breath to movement between asanas.
Other variations of hatha yoga in America now include Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kripalu, Integral, Viniyoga, Hidden Language, and Bikram yoga
