Jenn speaks to Freddie Valente-Perfeito, a yoga teacher based in Madeira, Portugal! A lawyer in her past life, Freddie discovered yoga in 2014 and has not looked back since. She then went on her self-growth journey traveling around Asia teaching yoga in India, Bali, Costa Rica, and Sri Lanka (where we met at Soul & Surf Retreat)! Besides for letting Freddie share her corporate to yoga journey I wanted to add that she has the most amazing Spotify playlist for working out and practicing yoga! So have a listen to it too!

About Freddie:
Frederica Valente Perfeito, was born and raised in Madeira Island, a Portuguese Island in the Atlantic Ocean. She always wanted to be a lawyer, but once she began her studies, she felt something was wrong, she didn't know what so she continued studying and then working for almost 8 years as a lawyer until the had an epiphany in a music festival, where she realized she was unhappy, no self-love, no love for her lifestyle.
She decided to practice yoga in Lisbon and quickly something clicked, she quit her law career, left for India and never looked back. Freddie has 500hrs of TTC under her belt and has worked at surf and yoga camps in Portugal, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, teaches yoga and runs her own retreats now back in Madeira since the pandemic started.
