Hi guzi00
It appears to me that yoga at the moment is out of the question for you!!!
I suspect you will need some physiotherapy to rehabilitate your knee after your brace comes off. Then I imagine that once you get some movement back and can weight bear that leg even if not back to normal, you may be able to go back to the hot room! You may need to use a prop or two. I wouldn’t be surprised if you needed to wear an elastic brace for a while as your strength and flexibility returns. I would certainly stand next to a stool or a wall for support should you need it (even if just being close gives you confidence). As in another recent post about ankle injury, your first classes may involve being extra cautious with some modifications before you try what your body remembers is the right pose. Go and take a look at related modifications here: Ankle injury, painful. What exercises and poses?
So, back to your original question: If you are wearing a brace for a month, then depending on your rate of healing (after the brace comes off) I imagine that you could consider going back 2-3 weeks after that. The more serious your injury the longer it would take you to go back. Your doctor will help you with exercises or refer you to someone.
Namaste
