Is it ok to do yoga or some 'light' pilates on a rest day?

Or does it have to be physical activity free to be considered a true rest/recovery day? I just really have a problem not working out at least a little bit everyday, I love it and I'm also trying to get in better shape.

It's absolutely fine to do some yoga on a rest day. Gentle stretches and poses that don't stress the muscles that are sore are great, it's a very good idea to do these on days when you aren't working out hard.

If you don't want or need a rest day: then work out by all means.
