Elaine Helmer

I am a 46 year old female from NJ.  I have been an RN with a BSN, specializing in cardiology since 1987.  I started practicing Yoga 10 years ago.  I attented the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA for a Panchakarma treatment in 2009 and one of the Yoga instructors asked if I was a teacher, which I had not even considered.  The President of the institute, Rolf Solvik informed me that they run a month long, intensive Yoga teacher training in India that I attended the following Jan/Feb.  I love to travel and am a PADI certified diver.  My last vacation was to Hawaii, where I attended a meditation retreat in Kona and a Yoga retreat in Puna.
