About Paul
In addition to teaching Yoga, Paul Cherba has a Watsu (WA-ter + shia-TSU) and Healing Dance practice in Plymouth and is a Shiatsu Massage Therapist at Eclectic Spalon in Orono. You might also find him assisting in Shiatsu classes at The School Of Shiatsu and Massage in Middletown, CA. Shiatsu (literally meaning "finger pressure") uses the same 14 meridian system, 5-Element Theory, and the concept of Yin and Yang (balance) that traditional Oriental Medicine uses. It balances the whole body through touch diagnoses, meridian stretching, massage (mostly) and energy work. He loves sharing his Shiatsu knowledge and you are sure to learn a point or two on your body that will encourage Chi (Energy) flow in his yoga classes. www.watsuyoga.com
