Dear Dr. Gaurav, I am pleased that you are a doctor and the doctor position is above many thousands of people whom he can help. You should focus on your own work and this issue of stammering will fade away. Even if it does not fade away, your good work will cover up this issue. So, donot worry and I would recommend that alongwith speech therapy and yoga therapy, you should also work on raising your self-esteem first. Google the books on improving self-esteem and go through the exercises in those workbooks.  It would be better to use yoga as a complementary therapy alongside speech therapy to help manage the symptoms of stammering or stuttering. Here are a few ways in which yoga can be used as speech therapy:

Relaxation techniques: Yoga practices such as pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can be a contributing factor to stammering.

Body awareness: Yoga poses and movements can help improve body awareness and coordination, which can be beneficial for speech therapy.

Voice projection: Certain yoga poses such as Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath) can help improve voice projection and clarity, which can be helpful for those who stammer.

Mindfulness: Yoga can help individuals become more mindful of their thoughts and emotions, which can be useful for reducing stress and anxiety, which can be related to stammering.

It's important to note that everyone's body is different, and stammering can have multiple causes, so it's always best to consult with a doctor or certified yoga instructor before starting any new exercise routine. Additionally, if you feel important to work with a speech therapist or a specialist in the field, get their  treatment plan personalized for you. 

Feel free to get back to me.
