The most benefit from yoga comes from a consistent practice.   If possible try to aim for 10-15 minutes per day and when you have time to do more or to attend a class then you will absolutely want to do that.   It helps to keep your mat and other props in a location in your home that will make it easy for you to either head to a class or to do your home practice.   Remember that even yoga can be too much of a good thing.   It is important to get the advice of a skilled teacher who can guide you in your practice to avoid injury.
