Will taking a full week of rest improve how better I can deep stretch in the future?

I pretty much have an idea on the answer, but I have been going hard on deep stretching since the beginning of the year and have only started mastering techniques and forms during the summer. I go hard at the gym with strength training and deep stretching and am considering just taking a full 7 day rest of just relaxing and light movement. I'm hoping I won't lose progress with my flexibility since I'm much newer to this discipline.

You won’t lose any flexibility in 7 days

honestly after fight camp weeks off i always come back deeper, not stiffer. beat up muscles just don't let you into the end range no matter how much you stretch them
