Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter or margarine, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Mix lemon juice and yogurt together and add alternately with the sifted flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until just blended. Stir in lemon rind and poppy seeds. Pour mixture into prepared pans and smooth tops.
