Perhaps brief descriptions of some various styles at following site will help you decide a certain direction.

In my opinion, finding a teacher you enjoy is more important than the style.

Your best bet is to find a yoga studio that allows drop ins so that you can try out a bunch of classes until you find one that you like.
I know little about Yoga ;but being an aroma therapist treatment in this way will be of more benefit to you because it will take the pain from your joints and allow you to exercise more, by walking,arm and knee movements.
Look in your local phone book for a practitioner.
Or go to a health store and get base oil and aroma therapy oils, lavender, chamomile,they will tell you how to mix them, and do your own massage.
The supply will last for months with daily massage.
Start off slow. Any class with the words "beginner, level 1, gentle, easy, restorative or yin" is a good place to start. If you find those too easy or boring try vinyasa flow, level 2, power or hot yoga.
Hatha Yoga..

I advice you to go with the hatha yoga form.. it’s simple. And it combines the gentle poses with the deep energetic breathing techniques. it will build your harmony and make your body look beautiful as well..
