We live in a world that rewards pushing through.
Be productive.
Be strong.
Keep going.
Handle it.
For many of us, survival can become a way of life. We learn to override our bodies, disconnect from our needs, and measure our worth by what we can accomplish.
ResYes exists because we believe there is another way.
A way where rest is not an afterthought.
Where strength does not require disconnection.
Where ambition does not require self-abandonment.
Where boundaries are an act of self-respect.
Where the breath becomes a place to return.
Where resilience means more than simply knowing how to endure.
We believe wellbeing is the foundation of a thriving life.
Our work is rooted in ancestral wisdom, guided by the rhythms of nature, and sustained through community. We center Black voices and perspectives while welcoming all who are aligned.
From ancestral roots to future generations, we are creating space for love, liberation, and collective wellbeing.
Founder Story
Jahdea Kedeche
The woman behind ResYes.
I grew up in a rural community in Jamaica, surrounded by the richness of nature but limited by infrastructure and resources. Resilience was not something I learned later in life—it was my everyday reality.
I was taught that education would be my pathway to upward mobility, so I pursued it with determination. I earned two degrees, but somewhere along the way, I realized I had achieved the credentials without finding the peace I was searching for.
I earned those accomplishments while living in survival mode—navigating emotional stress, financial pressure, and the constant demand to keep moving forward. Eventually, my body began to tell the story my mind had been carrying.
The tension.
The exhaustion.
The physical manifestations of stress.
They became impossible to ignore.
I had achieved what I was told would create stability, but I had not yet learned how to feel safe, grounded, and whole.
My journey continued when I immigrated to the United States in 2020. Starting over in a new country meant rebuilding my life from the beginning—working multiple jobs, navigating identity shifts, and finding belonging in unfamiliar spaces.
It was during this transition that I deepened my relationship with yoga—not for performance, perfection, or appearance, but for healing.
Yoga became a way to return to my body.
A way to listen.
A way to breathe.
A way to reconnect with myself beyond what I could accomplish.
I am still on this journey. I have not “arrived.” I still navigate the complexities of healing, stability, and becoming.
And that is why ResYes exists.
Because rest, resilience, and self-trust are not destinations we reach—they are practices we return to.
This is ResYes
A wellness-powered revolution for a different way of living
Well Rested. Resilient. Resourced.
