Welcome to the Mac-Forums.
Not near enough hard drive space. And even if you did have plenty of free hard drive space, with only 2 GB of memory, Yosemite would be sluggish and slow. The Apple minimum recommendation is not realistic. You need at least 4 GB of memory, 8 GB is even better. Install a larger hard drive in your iMac (or delete what you don't need like photos, music, and videos) and add more memory.

Expanding on the hard drive space. With only 8gig of free HD space...even running OS 10.6.8...your computer is probably running like crap!
You need to free up some HD space ASAP.
2gig of ram & only 8gig of free HD space...this computer has got to have performance issues.
