JADE FREDERIKSEN
Founder of Anglesea Yoga
Jade wholeheartedly believes that Yoga is inclusive and accessible for everyBODY. She offers a practice which is achievable, enjoyable and authentic; the benefits of which are felt on and off the Yoga mat. Jade weaves her insights in a way that is true to her own experience, and her invitation is for her students to do the same. She enjoys creating a fun and friendly space where people can slow down and connect with their own body.
Jade trained in India nine years ago and admits that it was the beginning of lifelong learning. She is also currently training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which will lead to her offering trauma-informed Yoga practice in the future.

KRISTIE JOHNSON
Yoga and Pilates Teacher
Ever since her first yoga class in her early 20s, Kristie knew she would become a teacher and share yoga with the world. Pilates and Barre on the other hand terrified her - that burn was INTENSE!!! Fast forward almost 15 years of self practice, lots of encouraging conversations, lots of self doubt and a few teacher trainings later and she could not imagine her life without Yoga, Pilates or Barre.
