Sometimes when i go to yoga class i feel like it is similar to pilates. Is there a specific “type” of yoga that this is called? Because i don’t really like it too much Lol.
But i have taken other classes that i loved and they aren’t like that at all. They have sort of a “flow” to them.
Excuse my use of words, I’m still a beginner 
You’ll have to excuse me as I’ve never been to a pilates class per se so I can’t make the leap here.
If you could illuminate us on the similarities it would be helpful in directing you.
To give a brief answer on different types of yoga would be challenging. I will say this - there is only one Yoga which originates from several classical texts (though originally passed orally). However there are many different expressions of that. Some of those expressions embody the roots while others forsake them - and all points in between.
There are faster-paced asana (poses) classes. Typically these classes cover many poses fairly quickly, keep you moving, and may have the name “flow” associated with them. Though there are other names.

“Power Yoga” (or at least this is the way I have seen it called) is very similar to Pilates.
Joseph Pilates used to practice Yoga for man years, so a lot of movements you find in the original Pilates forms will resemble Yoga n more than a way, specially in the Stretching part of a Pilates Class.
There are other things like Yogalates, created by Louise Solomon (which is supposed to reunite both arts and styles) which might be what you are talking about. I’m definitely not a fan of this last one which I think is just a Pilates class which wants to become “more spiritual” to fulfill the “fashion” some people have of feeling “enlightened” while doing their usual work out.
The easiest way would be to go and ask the teacher about it, so you can attend the classes you really enjoy…
You may just be doing yoga that incorporates a lot of core work similar to Pilates exercises. A lot of people find Core workouts to be unpleasant and fatiguing especially at first. Keep it up though and you may notice a lot of benefits. Posture, flat stomach, less of certain types of back pain etc. some Pilates students report that they are actually a little taller then before they started, though my guess is they are just measuring straighter. If you keep it up you may also notice that less core-centric yoga classes or other forms of exercise seem easier.

Yeah, those are the similarities i was talking about. Lots of core work is done in some of the classes and it makes it seem like pilates. Thanks for everyones answers
