I would say stretching is good. I am also a yoga practitioner. It also helps to have a good instructor to make sure you are kicking correctly. As a Muay Thai practitioner, I would say make sure you turn over your hip. One of my instructors used to say we need to remember to show our butt to the bag that we are kicking by the time we're done.
Hello,
lately i've been trying some kicking exercises but very hard, i can hardly lift my leg high enough to kick.
Any tips and exercises? or is it just a matter of time before my shots get better?
You may want to check out flexibility.maestro on youtube or insta. He has some great stretching and workout suggestions to improve kicks. I trained with him for a bit and he's really wonderful.

I suggest you Tom Kurz's "Power high kicks with no warm-up".
If you have trouble lifting your legs high enough, then most likely your core is weak.
