The reason is actually very simple.For a Sannyasi or a Yogi maintaining celibacy(Brahmacharya) is one among the most important tasks.Its part of their sannyasa related vows as well.

So, they avoid all kinds of "Naari Sansargas"(associations with women) including even talking or looking at them.

Because,even glancing at a women can be considered as contrary to celibacy,as the Daksha Smriti says:

Thinking of a woman or her picture, praising a woman or her picture, sporting with a woman or her picture, glancing at a woman or her picture, secretly talking to a woman, thinking of a sinful action towards a woman actuated by sensuality, determining upon the sinful action, and bodily action resulting in the discharge of semen are the eight characteristics of copulation; and Brahmacharya is quite contrary to all these eight indications.

So, a sannyasi or even only a Brahmachari(like students) carefully avoid women as much as possible.

The Manu Smriti even says:

2.215. One should not sit in a lonely place with one’s mother, sister, or daughter; for the senses are powerful, and master even a learned man.

Quoting from the "Ashtanga Yoga-the Significant Means of Shiva Tatwa" chapter of the Linga Purana :

To control the activities or goings on in the mind is Yoga. The Ashtanga or Eight-Limbed Yoga comprises of Yama- Niyama- Aasana- Pranaayama- Pratyahara-Dharana-Dhyana-Samadhi. Yama is denoted by good behaviour comprising Ahimsa (Non-Violence), Satya (Truth), Asteya (stealing), Brahmacharya (avoidance of sex) and Aparigraha or Excessive acquisition. Basic Niyamas is in fact an extension of Yama: To refrain from hurting or torturing co-Beings physically or mentally is Ahimsa; to convey whatever is seen, heard, and believed is Satya unless it does not hurt any body is known as Satya; to desist stealing of other’s property by deed, thought or otherwise is called Asteya; tonegate from relationship with another female or in respect of a female wih another male, excepting the wedded woman or man as the case may be and this should be observed by vision, thought or deed is called Brahmacharya or celibacy;

So, a Yogi or Sannyasi ,who follows the eight-fold path of Yoga ,avoids all forms of women associations as a part of his spiritual development and also to avoid chances of breaking his sannyasa or brahmacharya vows.
