A University of Windsor alumna believed the global yoga industry wasn’t built with everybody or every body in mind.

So, she set out to change it.

Dianne Bondy (BA ’94), a former accountant turned social justice advocate, has become a leading voice for inclusivity in movement and mindfulness. She’s showing the world that yoga is not about perfection, but participation.

“I just wanted to share yoga in a way that made people feel seen,” said Bondy.
