ysabetwordsmithHere's a guide to several different yoga styles.
I note that Terramagne has a lot more. If you look at the principles of yoga, there's somebody teaching classes for each of those. Here we have pranayama yoga, which focuses on breath, and most of the other styles use asana poses. But there's so much more. Vagary practices santosha yoga for contentment, and he has mentioned several other options. Each approach uses a different set of techniques and meditative focus to pursue its goal.
While we may not have classes in all that stuff, we do have most of the pieces. Just pick the principle you want to practice and run a search on it. You should be able to find poses, meditations, and maybe a few other things. Add your own trappings, like a color or Hindu figure associated with the theme. You can find incense for a fair number of these things too.

It's obviously not one of the traditions that has only one or a few set routines, because she uses yoga casually and has shown a variety of poses, routines, and other techniques.
I would bet that she's taken vinyasa yoga and likely draws a lot from that. I suspect that she has at least sampled some others. But she may be practicing a personal style rather than adhering to one school.
