Has she been upset by something lately? Have you taken her to the vet for a check to make sure there isn't a medical reason? You said that the accidents are in the same 2 places. If I was you, I would put a potty pad down in both of those areas until you figure it out. And I would go back to frequent trips outside to potty.

You are right about never hitting a Yorkie. Praise is what works best for them. I wish I had a definate answer to what is happening.. but I don't. I wish you the best of luck.
