Liz’s WHY & Ethics as a Teacher Statement:

What has emerged in both my life and my work are two simple but powerful questions:

How can I share supportive wellness tools with others?

And what tools are most helpful?

Yoga is one of those tools. Meditation is another. Creativity and creative practices also hold a vital place in this toolkit.

My ethics as a teacher:

  • I will practice. That means practicing at home, in other teachers’ classes, and continuing high-level training. What I teach will always be rooted in my lived experience.

  • I will not take for granted the power I hold when I step into the room as a teacher. I approach this role with professionalism, respect, clear communication, and a strong commitment to consent. I offer mindful presence and mindful response.

  • I am here to serve and support my students. My intention is to be of benefit - to reduce suffering and harm, and to contribute to a more peaceful world.

  • I am human, and I have biases. I will make mistakes. I commit to humbling myself, acknowledging them, and learning from them.

My Two Core Values as a Leader—And What They Lead To:

  • Integrity → Ethics, Peace, Service, Environmentalism

  • Balance → Moderation, Well Being

    • This includes conscious balancing of authentic wholeheartedness, lightheartedness, and humor - with discipline, rigor, and earnestness.
