In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast and sugar with warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and the low-fat yogurt to the flour and mix until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air and add minced garlic, olive oil, and red chili flakes. Knead for another 2 minutes to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Place one rolled naan onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the naan and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Remove from the skillet and repeat with remaining dough portions.
Before serving, sprinkle each naan with chopped cilantro.
