Liz’s WHY & Ethics as a Teacher Statement:
What has emerged in my life and in my work are the simple questions of: How do I share supportive wellness tools with others? And what tools are most helpful? Yoga is one of those tools, meditation is another, as are creativity and creative practices.
My ethics as a teacher:
I will practice. That means at home, in other teachers' classes, and continuing high-level training. What I teach others will be rooted in my own experience.
I will not take for granted the power I step into when I step into the room as a teacher. This means I take professionalism, respect, communication, and consent very seriously.
I’m here to be of service to and benefit my students. I’m also here to minimize suffering and harm.
I am human, and I have biases. I will make mistakes, and I will humble myself in order to own and learn from them.
My two core values as a leader are, and what they lead to:
Integrity → Ethics, Peace, Service
Balance → Moderation, Well Being
Includes balancing Authentic Wholeheartedness, Lightheartedness, and Humor with Discipline, Rigor, and Earnestness
