Personally, I've found it's important for me to have a rest day at least once a week (for values of "rest" including easy yoga), or I can push myself too much and then crash and not do anything for weeks.
The rest day will often shuffle around the week to fit around my life (so if I get a migraine and can't exercise, or I have a super-busy day and don't have time, I'll count that as my rest day for the week). But it's good to have it there, physically and psychologically.

So yay for support not pressure!
