Of course you can start yoga again - presuming you mean asana and not yoga. And whether it is beneficial or not, in the physical realm, depends completely on what sort of yoga you select and in what way you bring yourself to it.
If you are hypermobile I'd suggest a teacher and style that has some sense of stabilizing students in poses. You may have to root them out as most teacher would not have a clue as to how to peel such an onion.
