You can disable reindent when you type : key:

:set indentkeys-=<:>

Please edit ~/.vimrc file, and add these lines:

filetype plugin indent on
autocmd FileType yaml setl indentkeys-=<:>

_{Note: autocmd comes after filetype.}

You can trigger reindent by typing CTRL-F in INSERT mode, for example:

hello: world
    foo: bar<C-F>
