read .yml files in matlab issue

Question

For my project I want to read yml file in matlab using YAMLMatlab. My .yml files look like this. I am ust showing a part of .yml file. My file is around 29 MB.

%YAML:1.0
Block size: [ 16, 16 ]
Block stride: [ 8, 8 ]
Cell size: [ 8, 8 ]
block hist size: 36
block per img: [ 63, 63 ]
Total elements in array: 142884
nbins: 9
Scale: 1.
Level: 0
Width: 512
Height: 512
features:
   - 1.5302167832851410e-01
   - 1.0552208870649338e-01

   - 2.1614919602870941e-01
   - 1.4714729785919189e-01

While reading .yml file I got the following error.

Error using ReadYamlRaw>load_yaml (line 78)
Java exception occurred:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

    result = load_yaml(filename, nosuchfileaction, treatasdata);


Error in ReadYaml (line 48)
    ry = ReadYamlRaw(filename, 0, nosuchfileaction, treatasdata);


Error in untitled (line 2)
 YamlStruct = ReadYaml(yaml_file);

I believe this error is due to large file size as I can read simple .yml file. Can someone help me to resolve this error. I have also read this post.

P.S: Here is .yml file

EDIT:
It works with below answer but I got the following error now. Once I remover %YAML:1.0. It works fine.

Error using ReadYamlRaw>load_yaml (line 78)

In MATLAB, select Preferences from the menu/toolstrip. Find the section MATLAB>General>Java Heap Memory, and increase the Java heap size.

You'll need to restart MATLAB after changing this setting for it to take effect.
