An example is given = elle ouvert sa fenêtre en se levant. Is this correct?, or should it be elle a ouvert sa fenêtre en se lavant?

Bonjour John,
Yes, you're absolutely correct: it should indeed be "elle a ouvert sa fenêtre.". "En se levant" is correct, meaning 'while getting up', versus "en se lavant" meaning 'while washing'.
Thanks for pointing this out!
