Question magical beings......

ok i hear all these words, being told about things, and stuff like the different type of magic creatures. i know gandalf is an istari, but ive also heard him called a maiar, are these the same things ? and i heard that balrogs are fallen maiar, too.
so can someone explain a couple of these terms...

istari

maiar, or maia (if they are the same thing)

valar

(and any others that are a type of magically born creatures)
