There are different types of yoga!. Kundalini yoga focuses on the flexibility of the spine and the movement of life force through the body with the practice of pranayama, or breathing exercises!.
Vinyasa flow is a more vigorous form of yoga which is a connecting of many poses into a continuous flow that is connected with the flow of the breath!.

There are more, those are the ones I am most familiar with!. There are some instructors that focus more on the spiritual aspects of yoga (it originated in India, and the yoga most of us are familiar with has been Westernized and most of the religious focus has been watered down)!.
