Ethical Considerations

Primary ethical considerations were designing and maintaining an environment that supported discomfort and welcomed dialogue.

 

Important question asked:

 

1. Is this a safe space? Nicole Cardoza, owner of Yoga Foster, said, “start focusing on and responding to the challenges that your space is experiencing in that moment… stay responsive to ever-changing needs” (2019). This is an important aspect to each training because each group had a different dynamic and was composed of different people.

 

2. Do we welcome feedback? An important component to creating inclusive space is, to invite and respond to, feedback. The post-training interview is one avenue for feedback, however face-to-face interaction and the teacher/student dynamic may have inhibited frank, honest feedback.
