Nap & Shirley Quejada

Nap & Shirley Quejada have been in the business of fitness & wellness for more than 20 years now, from back when aerobic classes were conducted in leg warmers and bare feet. You can say we have come a long way since then and have learned safer and more scientific approaches to fitness & wellness. We have strived to put these principles into practice by organizing & conducting fitness-related events, such as lectures, seminars, product launches, among many other events; offering our services for training of group exercise and gym instructors; planning and conducting corporate wellness programs from fitness center conceptualization, formulating tailor-fit procedures, to program implementation. We strive to fine-tune all programs with the comfort and convenience of the participant in mind, to minimize dropouts and backsliding; these include all front office activities to client monitoring.

Four years ago, we incorporated certain complementary mind & body practices into our fitness approach which have proven to be effective – resulting in wellness with less stress! We also appreciated the need to have a healing modality on hand, and have gained proficiency in the Bowen Technique. To emphasize our commitment to these complementary practices, we have been organizing the Philippine Mind & Body Conferences for the past three years, featuring the different modalities which complement western medical practice.

Irene has been teaching Tai Chi and Qigong since 2007. She teaches Tai Chi for Arthritis, Tai Chi for Back Pain, Tai Chi for Diabetes, beginners and intermediate Tai Chi – empty-handed and with weapons such as fan and sword.

In her experience, Tai Chi has helped her cultivate balance, tranquility, discipline, patience, strength, control, courage, and wisdom. According to Irene, “Tai Chi made it possible for me to be equanimous amidst life's adversities. I have become healthier, happier and whole. For me, Tai Chi liberates the mind, body and spirit. This is why I teach Tai Chi – so that others may hopefully experience what I have experienced.”

Under the guidance of Master Li Jun Feng and the International Sheng Zhen Society, our Teacher Inday Espadero leads the Sheng Zhen Qigong sessions at the Center.

Master Li Jun Feng is the principal teacher of Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong. Presently, he tours the US, Canada, South America, and Europe throughout the year. He is training and certifying others to become teachers to thereby help spread the practice throughout the world. He is also the head of International Sheng Zhen Society, the foundation which propagates the practice of Wuji Yuan Gong. Master Li is best known for having been the head coach for the world renowned Beijing Wushu Team of the People's Republic of China. After practicing and teaching wushu (martial arts) and training champions for many years, he gave all that up to devote his time to teaching Wuji Yuan Gong to the world. It is his deepest desire to share the blessings he has received and all that he has attained in practicing this loving form of qigong.

Master Li Jun Feng travels to teach, to practice with his students, and to simply spend time with them. In so doing he shares his wisdom, his understanding, his love - his entire being, so that others too may experience the joy and contentment that permeates his life. Master Li embodies the spirit of Sheng Zhen. Simply being with him enables one to grasp and experience the depth and the beauty of this loving practice.

Sandro ‘Strix’ Toledo, MD

Doctor Toledo's work, while largely rooted in Manual and Occupational Medicine, is highly Integrative in its approach. His U.S.-accredited medical practice already incorporates Manual Medicine, Acupuncture, Medical Nutrition, Medical Hypnotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Most of Doctor Toledo's patients are gracefully aged and have heart, mental, and blood sugar concerns. A large number of them used to be chronically over-stressed. Most of his clinic time is productively occupied with limiting or eliminating muscle, tendon, or joint pain.

Doctor Toledo teaches Anatomy and Physiology at a University in Manila. He is the Director of a Healthcare Provider System, and heads a team of brilliantly adaptive Physical Therapists/Manual Therapists. His team has been conducting very warmly received series of workshop-seminars on Manual Medicine.
