I've seen a few threads on this and wanted to say that Ashtanga yoga is awesome when you are looking for a physically and mentally demanding form of yoga. You basically learn to do the whole sequence on your own, and in class everyone goes at their own pace with the instructor giving adjustments. And it's freakin hard. But sooo much fun. I used to do weightlifting quite intensely and a lot of cardio, and even though I was muscular I was nowhere near the shape I am in now.
Traditionally you practice 6 days a week, however, even if you just do it three times a week you'll see great results. And it's not just a physical practice-Ashtanga (as do a lot of other yoga practices) has really made a difference in how I deal with stress. I am going on my fifth year now, and i think it'll be with me until I die. So anyone looking into yoga should give it a try! Any form of yoga is of course great, but I am biased and really think this one rocks hardest!
