In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and the milk is just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the low-fat plain yogurt. Whisk gently to combine until smooth.
Pour the panna cotta mixture into 4 serving glasses or ramekins.
Refrigerate the panna cotta for at least 4 hours, or until set. For the best texture, refrigerate overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and gently invert onto a plate if desired, or serve directly in the serving glasses.
