Workout, eat six times a day, gain a supplement after a workout (True mass) it says right there on the box how much of it to put into a shake so read it. You aren't underweight so you might look very big if you gain a lot of muscles. But here are some basics you need to know to gain muscle if you want:

First off, you need a healthy diet with lots of food. The muscle milk will help you get some of the protein you need. Try for 1-1.5g protein per lbs. of body weight (155-232g of protein per day) and 2-4g per lbs. of body weight (310-420g) of healthy carbohydrates per day. Add some healthy fats (olive oil for instance) and you are looking at a good diet.
As far as workouts go, look into Mark Rippetoe's starting strength routine. It has proven to be a great way for beginners to gain weight. Yoga and weight training will not adversely affect each other, unless you begin to be too tired to do one or the other. I would say weight training should take precedence over yoga, however, that's really your prerogative. If you want to gain muscle, lifting will be more beneficial.
