Depends on the drain user. He could probably do it at least to an exent, like Krayt did to Abeloth and Luke.

Well, obviously, but does he know any specific technique?

I think any high-level Force extent, but I doubt Yoda knows any specific techniques to resisting it.
If so, why didn't he teach it to Anakin instead of Ulic? We also know the second most powerful Jedi on the council, Mace Windu, was powerless against drain, too.

Regular drain? Yes. Nihilus and Traya's drain? No. Valkorion's drain? Who knows.

Could Anakin have taught it to the rest of the Order?

Valkorion's drain is regular drain.

Possible. Thing is, the technique for one reason or another, leads one to drift towards the dark side.
(please log in to view the image)
"The ancient Jedi Master warned that the knowledge he would pass to Anakin would let him resist the effects of the Force stripping Harvester and Dark Reaper it activated, but would perhaps give him too much power. Anakin was confident he could avoid the temptation of the dark side , so with one last warning, Ulic told him what he needed to know."
Knowing how cautions the Jedi Order can be, I doubt it would be something they would want taught. That being said, it's entirely possible someone like Yoda would know of the technique regardless given his role in the Jedi Order, and such.

It's just a Death Field on a planetary scale.

It's not the technique itself, but it feeding into Anakin's arrogance that would lead to the dark side, I think.
But yeah, the Jedi were probably just too cautious to distribute knowledge of it freely.

Yoda doesn't seem to know specific techniques to counter Drain, but he can probably prevent himself from being Drained by anyone just because of how powerful he is.

Yoda should be learned enough in the Force to know how to mitigate it's effects, even if he doesn't have formal knowledge on the subject. Plus, he's freaking powerful.

I doubt it. More likely that it's some variation of the Nathema ritual.

My point was that it's effects don't deviate from standard Drain.

The Nathema ritual is not akin to Drain Life at all.

It killed every being on the planet and transferred the energy to Vitiate. That's exactly like Bane's Death Field in DoE, except on a larger scale.
