Love it: Dianne Bondy – Yoga for every type of body

At 45, Dianne Bondy easily looks ten years younger. She is an author, a yoga teacher and a body positive activist.

Dianne began practicing yoga at age three; her mum was a yogi. However, she struggled with body image from the age of seven when she started gaining weight, to her father’s disappointment. ‘I never wanted a fat daughter’ he would say, and make fun of her weight and discipline her when she ate.  This led to her developing a serious eating disorder up until her thirties. She exercised obsessively while counting calories and popping diet pills. Her turning point was when she started trying for a baby after she got married. Her doctor warned her that her lifestyle would affect her ability to have a child.
