There are many types of yoga asanas that fall into different categories. The most well-known classification is the one created by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. It is a fivefold classification of asanas, namely, pranayama, hath yoga, Ashthang Yoga, vinyasa and Kundlini.

1) Pranayama: Pranayama: Pranayama is an important aspect of yoga that consists breathing techniques, which help people to control their breath, heart rate, and blood pressure. There are basically three types of pranayama: kapalabhati (forcing bellows), bhastrika (bellows), and ujjayi (victorious).

2) Hatha Yoga: Hatha yoga (meaning "sun" or “of the sun") is an ancient Indian tradition that focuses on developing and maintaining physical and mental health by practicing postures called asanas. A Hatha yogi uses breathing exercises to regulate prana (or life force) and achieve a state of deep relaxation that allows concentration on the divine within.

3) Ashtanga Yoga: Ashtanga yoga is a physical and spiritual practice of particular postures designed to be practiced with the breath and body. There are eight series of postures in this practice, and each series is preceded by an introductory āsana known as the opening posture.

4) Vinyasa: Vinyasa means "to rotate" and is a term used to describe sequences of movement that are meant to be done continuously in order to stretch muscles, lengthen the spine, and increase flexibility.

5) Kundalini: Kundalini yoga is a type of hatha yoga that focuses on awakening the kundalini energy which is believed to reside at the base of the spine. "Kundalini" means "coiled power." It is thought to be awakened through pranayama (breath-work) and meditation practices.
