While suffering with spondylitis it is highly recommended to wait and do not perform yoga untill it recovers.
Take treatment for yoga through physio sessions the later you can start yoga.

Very good question, yes they can continue doing Yoga,
Let's understand this first in simple language it is a term used for age related changes in spine. Now pay attention - your hair also becomes grey with age, which is not characterized as a medical problem. But in case of spine it is characterized as medical problem.
When some body starts developing gray hair they can put colour.
Likewise practicing yoga regularly makes you feel younger because of better metabolism.
So keep doing yoga, maintain healthy diet, engage yourself with physical activities,
For management of painfull episodes take Physiotherapy treatment and pain medication as advised by Orthopedician
