I'm trying to load the yasnippets for the LaTeX mode every time I open an org file.
Is it possible? How can this be achieved?

Only one major mode is active at a time. Check to see if either of those major modes has a corresponding minor mode that you can use at the same time as the other major mode.– DrewJan 29, 2018 at 14:57

You can load an additional modes via yas-activate-extra-mode in the hook of the major mode (it also works with yas-global-mode turned on).
Just copy-paste following elisp snippet into your init file:
(defun my-org-latex-yas ()
"Activate org and LaTeX yas expansion in org-mode buffers."
(yas-minor-mode)
(yas-activate-extra-mode 'latex-mode))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'my-org-latex-yas)
Tested with:
- GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.22.20) of 2017-09-11
- yasnippet-20180124.1445
- yasnippet-snippets-20180122.521
You can see what the yasnippet repo has to say about this.
Basically, if you put a .yas-parents file (yes, a hidden file) inside your snippets/org-mode/ directory and as the content of said file you put latex-mode the latex snippets will also be available in org-mode. This approach does not require any lisp and it is very simple to share many snippets across many different modes (by simply listing more modes in the .yas-parents file).
