Yorkies do not need to be shaved so that their adult coats come in. Neither of mine have ever been shaved, one is 4 and the other is 2.
What I did was find a groomer who would let me stay during the grooming, this way I could watch and make sure she was not shaving or doing anything else I didnt want. Once she had groomed my babies a few times and I trusted her, i started leaving them. Now I never have to worry, I know when I come back they will be just as I asked them to be. She actually refuses to shave mine, once after Chloe was seriously matted following a surgery and long recovery, I took her in and said just shave her, I know she is matted bad. I came back to her nicely brushed and fluffed and only a tiny bit shorter then normal.
