Im a bit confused on how yoga works, are there certain branches that branch off into different types?

By “yoga” will assume you mean practice of physical poses (asana), as opposed to all the yogas where asana practice is not a component (e.g. Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Laya, etc).
I’ve never seen a list of Hatha yoga styles that claims to be complete, likely because with the heavy commercialization of Hatha yoga over last thirty years or so, it seems “new” styles are so frequently being introduced as the latest, greatest style.
The following list is a good start, but again does not attempt to be complete.
One prominent omission is “power” yoga.
