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.
