1) How do you know you were 9%?
2) It's only scrawny if you are really tall.

Isn't aesthetics what it's all about? I mean, isn't that the end goal? Unless you are power lifting.

Not really. I don't "power lift," but I make it my goal to be stronger every year than I was the year before. Aesthetics are certainly second, but being stronger and fitter for soccer is my main goal.

Maybe it's because I haven't worked out for four years, but I do know that the feeling I have now is better than previous workout eras for me personally.

That's really great! (honest)

I'd really like to throw a yoga workout in there somewhere as well once or twice a week.

Yoga is always a good idea.

I don't think that would be any problem whatsoever. I was just at 175 and single digits body fat about six months ago. About four months ago I was at 185 and around 10-12%. I'm 200 right now and probably around 15% - maybe a little more. Like I said, I'm not too overly concerned about the whole thing. I end up where I end up.

How do you know what your body fat is?
For reference, I'm 5'11", and this is 9% bodyfat (measured by both a DEXA scan and a Bodpod) @ ~170 lbs. My scale told me I was 6% for about two weeks leading up to the real measurement, so it's not very accurate.
I mean, if you're just ****ing around in the gym and doing whatever and you look like this, I'll just say congratulations to you on your awesome genetics and sit here being really jealous, because this took a shitload of hard work for me.
