If you've never done yoga I'd avoid the Bikram to start with. Find a studio with a good beginner class (not a gym) vinyasa or iyengar....
My wife is a yoga teacher, I'm starting my 3rd year, its good for you and much harder than it looks.

I think you can start with Bikram (I did) but the heat and humidity do add an extra measure of difficulty. There is a fair bit of controversy within the various yoga sub communities over Bikram and his methods but it has worked for me and I'm hooked.
If you start with it, just take it easy in the beginning and don't push too hard. I tweaked my knee overstretching and it took a while to heal. The heat takes getting used to and there are still days I go into the studio and struggle but that's part of the process.
