The verses around Matthew 11:29.
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Verse explanation
The ‘yoke’ was the wooden piece that joined two draft animals together, or one animal to a plow, spreading out the weight of the work. Comparing His own teaching to a yoke was a common way among Jewish religious teachers to describe the commitment to follow a specific, disciplined way of life.
From the Matthew 11 study in Bible in Stories.
