Public Speaking
I’ve been successfully providing public speaking services and leading presentations for over 20 years. From conferences to workshops, specialized training courses, public and private events, and so much more. I truly love connecting with people and leading conversations that can potentially shift the way we think, and change the way we act.
When I’m in my element, my passion and enthusiasm have the power to rally the masses. I bring my signature style, energy and empowerment to every speaking engagement I attend. I can help you boost engagement, create a community of inclusion, bolster social change, and examine and apply the principles of yoga and mindfulness in the way that makes sense for you.
What You Can Expect
- A personable and reliable team. I guarantee timely and professional replies to your emails, messages and phone calls.
- A one-on-one personal consultation prior to your event. This will ensure a greater understanding of your event, topic, objectives, and audience. This will help me serve you and your organization accurately and effectively.
- Increased reach and exposure of your public events. All public access speaking events are promoted on my blogs and social media platforms, leveraging your event’s reach to tens of thousands of captivated audiences.
- An exclusive, fully customized resource page for your attendees, including slides and references to any information included in my presentation and/or speaking notes.
- Measurable results and accountability. Each client receives a follow-up call or meeting following the event to ensure that I’ve met or exceed expectations.
I speak passionately on a number of topics relating to:
- Self-empowerment

- Mindfulness
- Yoga as therapy

- Body image
- Diversity, race and culture; and
- Social justice and activism
Every presentation and speaking engagement I execute is always customized and tailored to your organization’s specific goals and objectives. The content I deliver will highlight the tone and feel of your audience base.
“Dianne’s presence in the room was huge…she was dynamic, engaging with the audience and powerful. She was vulnerable as she shared pieces of herself with us, which helped create connection. Her authentic story telling brought us all in and the activities she had us participate in, brought us all closer together as well”
~ J.Burrell TRIBE Womans Entrepreneur Group
“We were thrilled to get Dianne Bondy as the keynote speaker for the 2015 Race and Yoga Conference. She moved the audience with the story of how she embraced yoga, and came to know herself as a phenomenal woman in the process. What she recounted was specific to her experience, but like every great storyteller, she delivered it in a way that resonated with everyone in attendance.”
~ Sabrina Strings Race and Yoga Conference
“Dianne presented her authentic self while standing in her power. She showed her acceptance of vulnerability as necessary to her own journey of self-compassion. Dianne’s understanding of justice, discrimination, and societal norms was inspiring to all of us. Finally, she shared that developing a healthy body image is a process mindfulness and acceptance of self. Dianne was a gift that has moved all of us to explore our own true selves.”
~ Karen DeGagne, Regional Outreach Eating Disorder Program
Dianne was an absolute joy to work with. She spoke with passion, power and an authenticity that really moved our audience and left a lasting impression on our staff. Dianne speaks to larger themes of self-acceptance, self-care and healing as well as challenging the status quo, speaking out against systems of oppression and taking risks. Dianne is truly a change-maker and I think everyone who has the chance to hear her speak will be better for it. Do whatever you can do to bring Dianne Bondy to your community!

Yoga Workshops
I offer yoga workshops and retreats around the world.
My workshops and retreats are always highly attended, engaging, and a lot of fun. I’ve had the pleasure of leading retreats and workshops at Yogaville, Satchidananda Ashram and Kripalu. I also lead frequent retreats through The Travelling Yogi. My schedule is pretty full and I usually book at least a year in advance, so please set aside some time to discuss your ideas with me.
