Hatha style, which includes different 'brands' like Iyengar. Don't do kundalini yoga or anything that is specifically designed to stimulate kundalini--like kriya yoga--starting out. Wait maybe a year or until you begin to feel energy throughout your body when lying down relaxing. Also, when you start yoga it can be tempting to want to aim for some of the really advanced poses you see. People don't get more enlightened by being able to put their legs in lotus while in a handstand. I'm just saying this because physical poses are preparatory and some people stay in this one step of yoga their whole lives.

most types of taoist cultivation meditations you must use full lotus otherwise you will make no progress
full lotus opens up the nerves of the spine so that the microcosmic orbit automatically starts flowing, and at 90 minutes leads to an internal orgasm which sublimates sexual desire
you will never get this with half lotus or siddhasana

I wasn't classifying lotus as advanced. I was giving lotus while in headstand as an example of something most people really don'tt need if the goal of the yoga is to open up channels.
