Diana Hulet

Diana is a Pacific Northwest-based environmental writer, animal photojournalist, and yoga teacher with over three decades of experience in yoga philosophy and contemplative traditions. After establishing her own studio and leading trainings and retreats internationally, Diana pivoted her attention and set off to complete a Bachelor of Science degree at Oregon State University in 2017, focusing on environmental ethics, ecology, and climate change. In her later studies, she confirmed the insights from her childhood experiences of snorkeling and scuba diving: our lives are intricately interwoven with the vitality of the Earth’s ecosystems.  At this time, Diana is pursuing a M.A. in Engaged Jain Studies with a concentration on Veganism, Animals, and Ecology.

​

While on the OSU faculty, Diana's growing concern for the well-being of animals prompted her to pick up a camera again and begin documenting the details of their lives. Her ongoing project, What if We Saw Them,  encourages reflection on our relationship with animals in various contexts, advocating for compassion as a catalyst for systemic change. Diana also embarked on the writing project The Lateral Line, sharing inspiring stories about the natural world and environmental awareness. She serves as a contributor and Board Vice President with the multimedia nonprofit Sanctuary Doc. In 2024, Diana also became a story and stock platform contributor for We Animals. 

​

Through her years of contemplative practice, teaching, and these creative endeavors, Diana aims to offer solace and courage for a new path forward for humanity—one that acknowledges our interdependence with animal kin and the shared planet we inhabit. When not engaged in teaching, writing, or photographing animals, Diana can often be found hiking with her beloved canine companion, Lita.
