Use separate bowls.

Bread is leavened when YEAST turns sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Yogurt has a culture of BACTERIA that turn sugars into lactic acid. They
are different types of fermentation caused by two different organisms.

If you are making sourdough bread or you are letting your dough rise at a
very cold temperature for a long time, you will have bacterial fermentation
along with the yeast fermentation. I believe that as the pH is lowered by
the bacteria, the yeast is effected, but I'm too lazy to look it up right
now. So, I think that the short answer is that what you have heard is
misinformation.

It is beer/wine and bread yeasts that interfere with each other (AFAIK).
