Dianne Bondy is an empowering yoga teacher and passionate social activist who is leading the rebellion against the homogenisation of yoga. Over the past decade, she’s been speaking out against the lack of diversity in the yoga world, calling out major players in the yoga industrial complex and – slowly but surely – inspiring change. This episode of triyoga talks is a passionate, frank conversation packed with grounded wisdom and infectious laughter – things we’ve come to know and love about Dianne. She shares what it’s like being a full-bodied, black yoga teacher and how yoga can help with body image. She also shines a light on the invisible barriers of inclusion and provides steps that studios and teachers can make towards creating more inclusive spaces. On the topic of yoga centres being a place on inclusivity, Diane is quoted as saying:   “I’m so encouraged – especially during these times – that some disruptors and agitators are showing society, media and spaces of yoga that yoga should be inclusive and be used as a tool for uniting us, instead of dividing.” Diane is visiting triyoga for the first time in August 2019 to host a weekend of transformational workshops for both teachers and students.
