Pigeon pose is a good start.

Was literally coming here to ask this. I've done a fair amount of yoga but nothing super significant. My hips just dont seem to open. I want to be able to do a full split. If I stretch each day and really work on it what kind of time line could I expect to be able to do a split?

Forward splits three times for thirty seconds each, increasing split each time, both sides. Sitting side "splits" with legs splayed three times for thirty seconds each, increasing angle each time. Be careful not to overstretch and get a muscle tear though, those take a while to heal. Note that I'm note saying do the splits to achieve the splits here. You'll start with weak splits and gradually increase your splits angle doing this.
Leg lifts are also important if you're not just looking for passive flexibility but active as well (high kicks in martial arts for instance). 10 to the front, 10 to the side, 10 to the back, both legs, support yourself with a chair or wall, even if you have no problem doing them without support. Make sure you do them in a controlled manner; not quickly.
None of this is really yoga of course. But I do all this and I've been in a fair number yoga classes before though, and so far I have always been the most flexible person in them.
