About this Retreat
Medical Massage Therapist, Ayurvedic Prakriti analyst, currently studying for Ayurvedic Clinical Practitioner, Teacher, and workshop leader.
With an established medical massage and wellness center and over 20 years of practice, I have seen thousands of clients. I work with people from all walks of life, including high-profile clients and celebrities, and I assure you of confidentiality in our work together.
In 2015, I co-established the Purple Lotus Wellness Center to host retreats, yoga classes, rituals, and ayurvedic consultations, in addition to offering medical massage therapies, the Meier method, and other healing modalities.
With a deep study in over 30 modalities, I’ve helped clients heal a wide range of issues, such as neck pain, back pain, sciatica, knee pain, hip pain, misalignments, headaches, abdominal pain/indigestion, stress, anxiety, depression, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, overuse syndromes, tears, pulls, fibromyalgia, whiplash, SI joint problems, carpal tunnel, nerve entrapment, pre and post-surgery treatment, and scar tissue release.
I also bring my experience from working in both private clinics and hospital settings, where I supported clients in healing from serious pathologies, preparing for or rehabilitating from surgeries, and in some cases, helping them regain mobility.
I am passionate about supporting you in achieving your personal health goals by understanding your health history, unique lifestyle habits, interests, wants, needs, and desires through holistic care and practices.
Holistic Marketing and Design director,
500- RYT Hatha & Ashtanga, Sound Healer and Cacao Ceremonialist
I am Jadeli Percolla, a native of Guatemala and a Yogi practitioner who has immersed myself in breathwork, meditation, and asanas for the past five years, with nature as my primary teacher and guru.
I earned my certification as a 200 RYT Yoga Teacher at Shamana San Marcos la laguna, Guatemala, where I discovered my initial passion for the elements and their transformation into spiritual, emotional, and physical dimensions, connecting with Ayurveda practices. I studied Qigong and Sacred Mayan Wisdom from the Mayan calendar to become a Cacao ceremonialist.
I attained the role of Sound Healer Ceremonialist through the Mystery School Sounds of Light, under the guidance of its founder, Thomas, and the Himalayan Academy of Sound based in India with Yogasvarope.
Later, I continued my journey by traveling to India to become a certified 300 E-RYT Advanced Yoga Teacher in Hatha and Ashtanga at the Himalayan Yoga School in Rishikesh.
Additionally, I am a certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant from the American Institute of Vedic Studies under Dr. Frawley.
I am continuing my online studies at Yoga Veda to become a clinical Ayurveda practitioner over the next two years.
Currently, I guide Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga classes, facilitate Cacao and Sound Ceremonies, and express my devotion through Bhakti Yoga.
My Dharma:
From this, my path in the movement called Yoga is to support each other in the deep transformation of mind, body, and spirit.
I aim to employ practices that cultivate endurance, discipline, resilience, and trust in every single moment of life.
The goal is to become more oriented toward Sattvic Living, uplifting humanity in healthy lifestyle by integrating Vedic systems into regular movement and diet and to encourage our creative power, such as singing and dancing.
To become your most authentic expression is to inspire, motivate, and facilitate safe containers to open your heart and be more free of pain, sorrow, and fear, surrendering to your most beautiful transformational experience in this lifetime.
