Am I gaining weight correctly?

Hi everyone. Just one question. I just started working out a lot one month ago. My purpose is muscle mass gaining. For that I read thousands of articles on protein intake, calorie intake, carbs, reps, sets, body parts, etc. So I pretty much know how to do it. The thing is I've been gaining about one pound each week. Is this enough? Or is it too little or too much?
I'm not supposed to do cardio and I do bikram yoga (it burns about 800-900 calories for and hour and a half session), so this is the reason I have to eat about 1000 calories more each day I practice yoga. So I've been gaining weight even by doing this yoga practices so I guess that is a good sign, and my muscles feel a lot bigger, but I wanted to ask if a pound a week is ok. Next week Im gonna go get my body fat percentage measured... I'll be keeping track... I hope what I've gained is more muscle than fat.
