I don't do yoga, I always do athletic stretch, and I love it, when I skip it due to laziness, I notice. There are other ways to work on balance if needed. I also love mobility practices and foam rolling. When an official rotation include yoga, I always do stretch instead, I have several dvds in different lengths, I just choose what I feel like doing that day, or depending on how I feel.

True you can work on balance in other ways, but if the program has a yoga practice scheduled that includes balance work specifically for the program you would just have to add on in order to get the balance work. Still would work, just might take extra time.

Most of the rotations I have done includes yoga on Sundays (as "rest or yoga"), as a recovery aid, 10 minute or so of sun salutations and chaturangas doesn't sound relaxing to me, it is probably good though, but if I want to relax my muscles and give them a break from the strength and cardio done during the week, a simple stretch sounds better to me. I also thing that you can substitute a workout in a rotation here and there if you don't like the scheduled one, by doing so, I don't think you are losing something, better to do something you enjoy and will stick to, instead of dreading a particular workout, make a rotation your own. I don't like yoga personally, but I like doing flexibility workouts and know how important they are. Do whatever you enjoy! It is awesome to have so many options.
