A ResYes Retreat
Release & Reconnect
A 6-day yoga and somatic retreat for the high-achieving woman ready to release stored stress, reconnect with her body, and remember that rest was never hers to earn.
April 22 - 27, 2027
Ochi Rios, Jamaica
Imagine six days in an island sanctuary, where lush gardens meet an unrushed shore and an intimate circle of women who get it holds space alongside you.
Not the version of you that’s always producing. Not the one holding it together for everyone else. The one underneath. The one who remembers how to rest, how to feel, how to simply be.
You’ve done everything right. Polished. Driven. The one everyone calls “so strong.”
And privately? You’re carrying an exhaustion no weekend can reach. You were’nt meant to live constantly braced.
Burnout is not your birthright.
Stored stress was never the deal you signed.
Two things can be true at the same time. You can be ambitious and depleted. You can love your life and still need somewhere to finally exhale.
That place exists.
Release & Reconnect is five nights at a private villa in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, for the high-achieving woman whose energy has been running on survival mode for far too long.
This is more than a retreat. It’s a return to your body, your rhythm, and yourself..
Come home to yourself
Rest is the root, not the reward.
Everything at ResYes moves in a simple rhythm: Rest, Regulate, Respond.
Rest gives your body permission to put the weight down.
Regulate helps your nervous system feel safe enough to reconnect with you. Because resilience without rest is stress.
Respond is what grows from there: choosing your life from alignment, not survival or performance.This isn’t a productivity retreat, and it isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to who you already are, underneath everything you’ve been carrying.
You already hold the wisdom of the women who came before you. This retreat is space to remember it.
Not a performance. A practice.

Ongoing connection with the women who walked this with you
ResYes is a place you return to.
The days are unhurried by design. There's room here to slow all the way down — not to escape your life, but to meet it again with more capacity, more presence, more of yourself intact.
Each room is priced individually — private rest matters on its own terms, and you shouldn't have to share to receive it.

A yoga and wellness retreat for ambitious women, especially Black women, who are driven and deeply exhausted.
✦ You’re always the strong one, running a marathon of expectations you never signed up for.
✦ You hold the system in one hand and the spirit in the other.
✦ You want nervous system regulation, not optimization.
✦ You need quiet as much as you need connection.
✦ You’re not asking for a smaller life. You want a truer one.
This isn’t anti-ambition. It’s rooted ambition.
If you’re looking for a party or a push-through, we lovingly point you elsewhere.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Meet Your Facilitator
I’m Jahdea
I moved to the US with two degrees, no solid plan, and a bag full of courage.
Yoga found this Yardie in 2020, right when I was quietly falling apart, and became my way back to myself. What began as personal healing became a calling.
Today I’m a Jamaican-born yoga teacher, holistic wellness practitioner, and the founder of ResYes Yoga & Wellness. I completed my 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification in 2024, and my work lives where yoga, nervous system regulation, and ancestral healing meet.
I guide high-achieving women, with particular reverence for Black women, to release stored stress, reclaim rest, and come home to themselves through self-healing, growth, and discovery.
Strength with softness. Movement with intention. Rest as the root.
This is ResYes. A wellness-powered revolution.
What Makes ResYes Different
Many retreats offer a getaway. ResYes offers a return.
Many retreats are built around a resort. Ours is a private villa in the hills of Ocho Rios, designed entirely around your rest.
Many retreats teach yoga. We work with the nervous system, the body, and what it’s been holding.
Many retreats end at the airport. Ours walks with you before and after, with prep and integration calls.
And it’s locally led, by a Jamaican-born guide, on ancestral land. Here, rest isn’t a trend. It’s a homecoming.
Sustainable change doesn’t happen in survival. So here, you get to decide what you put down, what you keep, and who you return as.
But... Let's Talk About It

But... Let's Talk About It 〰️
“This is selfish”
— Brain of a High achieving Woman Your rest is ancestral work. You're not resting for yourself alone — you're resting for every woman in your line who never could. Some of the grip isn't yours. Releasing it is the most generous thing you'll ever do.“I don't have time to rest.”
— Brain of a High-achieving WomanYou don't have time not to. Every hour you spend running on empty costs you more than the hour it would
take to recover. Survival tension is already taxing your time — you just can't see the receipt.“I can't afford to.”
— Brain of a High- achieving WomanYour children, your partner, your team — they cannot afford for you not to. They've been receiving the
depleted version of you for years.
Imagine what they receive when you pour from a full cup.Frequently Asked Questions
