Hello Se'ni Porter - (Based on my personal experience...)

If you are completely "new to yoga", then I would suggest starting out with Celest Periera's - 3 Steps to Yoga - Beginner Series. They are collection of 3 short videos, and it's a great way familiarize yourself with basic yoga postures. She goes slow and cues the poses very well. This will help you build a good foundation before you move on to more intermediate or advanced videos.

If you happen to feel particularly "stiff" when doing yoga, then you could also practice Sonia Doubell's - Yoga for Tension Relief - Beginner Series. This too is a collection of short videos. They don't focus as much on basic sun salutation postures. But they really help lubricate your joints and release tension from your body. It will help increase flexibility as well.

After that I would suggest moving onto Andrew Sealy's - Metabolism Boosting Yoga - Intermediate Series. They are great 30 min videos that will work you from head to toe.

PS: I have made the assumption here that you are new to yoga. But if the above is a breeze for you, then feel free to shoot me a message back. I will be happy to suggest videos on Grokker that escalate your challenge level even more :-)
