New to yoga...

I hope this doesn't seem like a very naive question as I admit to being rather uninformed on the principles and practices of yoga, but I wondered if there was a particular type of yoga, or series of positions, that are most suited to a relative yoga new-comer?

I have always been active as a child, though since coming to University 3 years my levels of exercise have dropped a little, as has my flexability. I was hoping to find a branch of yoga which may help me regain my flexability before I can progress to more difficult poses and stretches.

I also suffer with mild lower back pain and shoulder pain as a result of horse-riding injuries as a youngster, so stretches which may help these areas would be particularly useful!

Thankyou for any advice
