From Dr.
Patrick Ross, Vice President, Faculty of
Student Services and Instruction,
Malaspina University College
Our Faculty
(over 100 professionals) enjoyed a
vibrant, entertaining, and enriching
session with Dr. Keith Jeffery.
Keith is articulate, passionate, and
knowledgeable. His presentation is
fun and creative and was very well
received by the Student Services Faculty
and staff. Our time together was
extremely valuable and the feedback has
been very positive. The three-hour
session was full of good ideas,
stimulating activity, and motivational
thought.
The "4 Minute Fitness" concept is a
unique and masterful blend of activity
which was well received by our group.
Keith
delivers. His presentation
actually shows you new ways to move that
strengthen, create flexibility, whilst
improving your breathing. This
system is engaging and easy to
participate in. I was worried some
staff might be reluctant but that was
definitely not the case. Everyone
joined in and benefited from this
positive "mind-body" experience.
I would highly recommend this
professional development session to any
group interested in promoting innovative
health and wellness. Wow!
Thank you
Keith. |

the time."

invigorating, enlightening and BIG FUN! Thanks! Sessions like
yours get people thinking about their own wellness and
how simple it can be to
make a huge difference in how they think and feel."
L Atherton, BC
"...your
session was by far the most commented.
You made a
real impact on the people who attended your session. I hope
you consider a return visit when we do this again.

Jeffery -
your wonderful, positive message at the seminar in North Vancouver
has improved my life - and the life of others around me ! So
many good ideas - and your wonderful enthusiasm - yes, yes, yes -
Hooray ! LOL ! It never fails!"

You have a
gift and you have used it."

you for a wonderful workshop. It was very inspiring
evening"
D. Hayes, BC
"Good morning Keith. I had a
great time up in Kelowna!
It was a
refreshing and inspiring morning! I saw a lot of value in the
4 minute fitness. Thank you for the opportunity to attend your
dynamic session. Not
only was it a good way to start the morning, I found your
presentation style very humorous and uplifting. I will
always look at a cat with longing from now on!"
C. Weibe, BC
"Keith certainly knows his stuff -
it is so
compact and makes good sense. I believe it has value and
really is aimed at my best health. This will work - I know it!"
D. Francis, BC
"Just to let you know, I'm still
faithfully doing my 5 movements including the "yes, yes, yes,
foot-stomping routine" (out loud) everyday in our back garden.
I think I've only missed 3 or 4 days in total since your May
workshop, and I can honestly say I've felt significant benefits from
doing the exercises and the breathing. Let me know when
(your next seminar) is....I have a number of friends who are
interested in attending."
S. Murphy, BC
"Just a note to tell you how much my
husband and I enjoyed your Seminar last Thursday.
We found
the three hours packed full of informative, inspiring and fun
learning."

been a long time since I've had so much fun learning something new
- especially something so valuable to my heath and well being.
Thanks you!
R. Barclay
"Keith
was most effective in helping people to realize how important mind
and body wellness is for all aspects of one's life. Most

hours."
M. Roy-Brown
"In one
week I have gained a huge benefit. Thank You."
A. Blund
"Thank you for coming to our convention and
enabling me to refocus of
the person that I am!
D.H, PEI
"I'm a tough case to crack. If you got through to me, you'll easily
get through to others. I
think anyone could benefit from your teachings. You're an
excellent presenter - intelligent, witty, straight-forward,
engrossing. First-rate."
J. Moscovitz
"It
was inspiring, informative, simple, user friendly and felt GREAT!
Thanks for the insight into myself and my ability to improve my mood
EVEN more.
I have been raving to my
friends about it (and you) and showing them the flyer, telling them
about the DVD, how much fun the presentation is.
You made it so
non-threatening, and fun.
I learned
so much from this session. I also enjoyed how professional,
personable, and compassionate you were in your presentation. LOVE
was shown in every aspect of your teaching and interactions"
C. Persoon
"I have too thank you again, the 4 minutes workout is just amazing.
My wife was stunned when I came home with it because she never
thought of me as a Tai Chi kind of guy.
Anyway, we do it together
every morning while the coffee is perking. LOVE IT.
I can't
say enough about it...everyone at the office wants more info from me
and they are asking when will I be teaching it.
C. Martel, PEI
"It
was absolutely everything I had hoped it would be and more!!
My only regret is that I didn't bring along my wife and a ton of
friends with me. I can
tell you with a clear conscience that I feel better after having
done them."
S. Murphy
"It was a pleasure to be with you on Wednesday as I felt myself
being energized from your energy. You have a great sense of humour
and demeanour. You are a
ray of Sunshine. Keep up the good work. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! I hope our paths meet again."
A. Kujala
"It's very beneficial to the mind
and body ... and, can very easily be slipped into anyone's daily
schedule. Not only that ... the seminar was a
fun, uplifting afternoon."
W. and J. Dimery
"I did not expect to find the
session valuable and had a million other things I wanted to do that
day. However, you brought me onside quickly, and in the end, I
have been doing the 4 minute routine daily. It reminds me during
the day ( when I'm not doing it) to stop and to take a big breath.
I've been finding that immensely helpful.
Funny how such a small thing
can make such a big difference."
M. Amy
"It seems extremely effective.
Was
there some magic involved that you did not tell us about that evening?"
M. Curran
"Great. 1st class presentation! Best
of the day!"
"Very motivating"
"Very enlightening session - I feel so much better"
"Worth every minute!"
"Lots of fun and relaxing"
"I'm really inspired"
"Wow! The Law of Attraction strikes again. Thanks."
A few comments from the Chilliwack Health and Wellness Fair
"I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar
and came away with " in life you have to do the things that you are
passionate about" and you certainly are doing that.
You are a great speaker and
humorous too"
S. Carelius
"If I'd
have known that these techniques could have lowered my stress in only four minutes,
I would have tried years ago.
Terri G.
"I enjoyed your seminar very much and
have found many benefits in
only 2 weeks"
D. Newman, BC
"I found the 4 Minute Seminar
extremely valuable. The techniques outlined in
the seminar are relatively quick & easy. Since there's no prep time by
having to change clothes, roll out mats, drive somewhere for lessons, etc.,
there's never any excuse not to take out a few minutes in a busy day to
get an all around good feeling."
J. Jobonneau
"It left me totally uplifted. I came home floating, on
cloud nine."
M. Scott
"Thanks you so much for such a
great evening! You were very entertaining while teaching us a
lot of great techniques, movements, principles, etc. I came away
with a lot to practice and the motivation to do so."
Lorna, BC
"Great start
to a new life!"
B. Raymond
"Enjoyed your presentation 2nd
time around. Love the motivational portion also. Your
presentation style is a winning formula for success."

relieving stress."

workshop! This is something we can and will incorporate into our
daily routines.
K. Baker

"It's short, effective, and
provides good value for the money. Also, I like the fact that there's no
expensive equipment to buy, and can be done virtually anywhere!"
D. Coutts
"I found the 4 Minute Seminar very valuable. It helps me to relax
my very stressed brain. I feel everyone should
have a chance to benefit from your knowledge and positive
attitude."

was a wonderful program"
Dr. E. Frazier

after only a few days practice."

Adey

P.Lawry
"These are a few of the written evaluations
from the SD 62
Cupe Pro D Day 4 Minute Fitness seminar presented on
March 10, 2005

committee felt it was one of the best days we have put together
- what a great morning! I'm
doing the exercises every morning and my back feels really great.

helps me to stay relaxed when I practice the deep
breathing
- so worthwhile
- Keith made some excellent suggestions with
regards to choosing your attitude
- let's do the exercises together at coffee break
-
best Pro-D Day ever!

manner which seemed to be contagious. I left feeling very strong and
strong."
K. Jamison
"Thank you for a
delightful and
inspiring evening. It was a pleasure to watch the Master at his craft.
You
are incredibly excellent at what you do! I had a great time and learned a
lot."
Dr. Susan S.
"Over the past several
years I have learned if I am not health and rested I am of no use to
those that matter around me. 4 Minute Fitness
has given me another tool to use to maintain health and peace."
D. Douglas

they would be as inspired as I am."
P. Lovell
"I want to thank you for
coming to Ohio to do the training. I intuitively knew what kind of content this session
needed to be but didn't know who can deliver the message. I am pleased that you
did it! Everyone enjoyed the session and the message was delivered in the
right way to this audience (doctors, dentists, psychologists, clinicians).
So, I want to thank you for that.
All the evaluations were marked the

Excellent!

"Just wanted to let you know we are
still going strong here at
our
school. Teachers are faithfully showing up every Friday to participate in the (4 Minute
Fitness) program. Benefits that have been shared with me are - the exercises are
relaxing,
decreased stress levels, fun to do anywhere."
H. Phipps, Okinawa
"Since the seminar I have played your video each morning
and followed the moves. I am learning to relax more with them each day. I plan to
continue to do these always. I have told so many people about this seminar and
suggested that they join you the next time you are back here. I think they would
be as inspired as I am."
P. Lovell
"The information was presented in a entertaining well planned format
which helped me understand why all the different segments of the exercise come together.
I am actually looking forward to
making this part of my daily life again but with a deeper and more meaningful
purpose.
Thank you again and I give you a 10 for
presentation! And I rarely if ever give 10's."
N. Shulz
"A wonderful seminar. You are a great motivator.
Thanks a million!"
I. Melville
"A very valuable day! I had a particularly
stressful weekend, so the relaxation exercises were very welcome.
You
approached the session with humour which helped many people who may have been
hesitant at first."
M. Bryden
"I really enjoyed the
workshop yesterday. I already did the 4-minute twice today with the video."
Following communication: "Actually,
now that I learned it and can do it without the video, I love it even more
because when I feel my energy or my "state of mind" starting to slip, I just
find a quiet spot and voila!!"
M.Levesque
"I thoroughly enjoyed your seminar.
In such a hectic and often stressful world, it is wonderful to to be able to
"pause and refresh" anytime and anywhere."
V. McKenzie
"You showed us the
deep connection between our thoughts and our health, and showed us how to improve
our outlook and subsequently -- our health. Also, the glow on your face and in your eyes
showed me that it is definitely working for you."
S. Carscadden
"Thanks your for a wonderful evening to teach a lifetime
tool! Enjoying this daily
refresher and energizer."
K. Roosma
"Thanks for the awesome presentation last week.
I feel
rejuvenated, I'm on a high. You are wonderful!"
A. Cameron
"I have notice an
improvement in my thighs, they are becoming toned.
It wakes
me up when I do it. My hip is feeling better, not 100%, but much better. I have a
lot of fun with the yes, yes, yes, lesson. I would recommend it to others."
P. Ashley
"Your presentation motivated me to start my day with a mere 5-min. workout.....so
simple, yet so beneficial!!! So far, I have felt a difference in how my day
starts!
I believe that the "affirmation" really anchors
each pose and are probably the key component of the routine. You know the old saying...The
power of positive thinking"...;-)"
M. Oleschuk
"For those of us who may have been struggling with
those old questions such as --- How will I fit an exercise program in? I don't know where
to start? Will I be able to do this with my injury? ---it gives a wonderful
opportunity to refocus on the possible and turn that into a very doable reality.
A simple yet elegant set of moves that I
will do. The DVD is very easy to follow after the seminar and keeps that
motivational spirit alive."
B. Clough
"I
believe it will be a great way to start my day, with benefits in loosening me up,
especially the knees and hips. I like the simplicity of the five steps along with
the affirmations. And it is a perfect
adjunct to my spiritual beliefs - spirit, soul, mind and body - all one."
E.
Panchishin
"There is a
lot of healing energy going into those 4 minutes! I'll practice once a day at
least. Anyone can do these exercises anywhere. We can all benefit from
bringing healing energy into our lives and sending the same out. Blessings to the
continued success of your program! YES! YES! YES!
(My favourite part!!!)"
L. Penfold
I really
enjoyed your presentation at the Edmonton conference. The staff at our school has
been talking about it ever since. Everyone had a great time. I found your words
of encouragement very inspiring. Thanks for making a difference.
Anyways, thanks for a great session,
it
was very inspiring.
Pauline B.
"I found your
attitude and general outlook on life very positive, inspiring and uplifting.
I was expecting a more physical workout but found, again to my pleasure, a
rousing
mental & spiritual workout in addition to the balance and flexibilty
aspects."
S. Caldwell.
"I love the Yes! Yes! Yes!
and when I get a little braver, I'm going to get my kids doing it at school. They are
already so "full of beans" and spontaneous - they'll love it. We'll make the
school "rock"."
R. Herkel
"I've been having some stress (work-related), and
found most everything
relevant to help me with this."
L. Partee
"Your session at the Northland School Division was
awesome!
I really enjoyed the session. The four minute session was very helpful. I
lead a very busy life therefore the four minute exercise is good and seems to be very
effective."
M. Moberly
"We both found the day to be very valuable. I was amazed at how
quickly the day went by (which is always a good sign on pro-d days!). I am a great
believer in taking control of stress and creating a positive attitude for myself and
Monday
was a great opportunity to reinforce and bring to the forefront those beliefs.
As you probably are aware there has been a great amount of tension
in the District office since the election last fall. Your workshop could not have
come at a better time for us and I believe it has helped contribute to a much
more positive attitude around the building this week. You may have heard from one of the
others about our 800 a.m. "yes, cheer" on Tuesday morning in the front lobby. We
really raised the eyebrows of management!!!! I only wish that all of the support
staff had taken part in the workshop.
I also has used Krisanna's technique around a situation that had
arisen (at work). I was very angry at the time and I was having a hard time letting it go.
(The technique worked). Needless to say I feel one heck of a lot better about it
too!!!!!!"
S. Ward
"I would
like to thank you for a great Pro D day Feb. 17, 2003. I intend to use
your video to its fullest as a tool for feeling well. Your presentation, as well as
Krisanna's, had that wonderful dose of humor which I enjoy so much.
(I came) away with a sense of well being
from that particular day as well as being able to accomplish a further sense of wellness
days after.
What impressed me about this technique was that
the time
commitment was not overwhelming... can be done from the comfort of your
home."
D. Roberts
"The
whole presentation was perfect."
L. V.
"Thank you Keith for the joy and laughter filled workshop
Monday! It was a wonderful experience and certainly stimulated my somewhat jaded outlook
on my personal "what can I do for me today" syndrome. (The next day) after
following the video I truly experienced a feeling of bliss. I wanted to
repeat the 4 minutes it felt so good.
Thanks you Keith for your dedication to helping others to
heal their lives.""
S. Kay
"I have been practicing 4 Minute Fitness everyday since I left
Tokyo and the Assistant Principals conference. I no longer feel stiff.
My muscles
and joints feel flexible, toned and relaxed. Thank you!"
S. Rogstad
"I wanted you to know just how much I enjoyed all that you taught
us during the conference. It has really made a difference in my general energy
level. Thanks again!"
L. Dunkle
"I really enjoyed your
workshop. The 4-minute program will certainly be incorporated into my regular
routines."
A.C
" I was at the sd68 pro-d with you and your wife.
Great
day!!"
R. Rolph
"Well paced, well organized with cogent information Thank
you!"
- "Awesome!"
- "Excellent info,
outstanding teacher. Great
day!"
- "Great guy, great stuff! See if you can have him back.
He
needs to work with more of us."
- "Fun and beneficial. Thank you for providing a
personal benefit that will transfer into my classroom."
- "Very
relaxing and invigorating workshop. Will
definitely use this."
- "Very calming, informative, helpful.
Worth repeating"
- "Well presented and
very valuable to personal wellbeing
that will increase work days and physical abilities. Thank you!"
- "Informative, useful. Wish I had taken earlier.
I will
use this method!"
Various submitted written comments - District 69 Pro D Day
"Yes I found the session
worth while, it is something I will actually try and I would recommend it to
others. In fact I told my husband he might want to do it every day when he gets
home from work before he comes down stairs and meets the family. He is usually very
stressed when he gets home."
C. McManus, School District 70 Pro D Day
"The combination of motivation with practical applications to support
make sense and should be much easier to rationalize than pure motivational thinking. The 4
minute routine is almost impossible to ignore because once you feel the workout
you get in such a short time, it is easy to convince yourself that you can make the first
step.....usually the hardest for those of us that worship at the alter of
computers and instant worldwide communication.
Because of the simplicity I am sure if it
can benefit anybody, even if to varying degrees. From invalid to athlete,
there is
something for everyone to take away with them.....it is easy to carry and free
(almost, anyway).
Without sounding sappy, we both feel that
your program will inspire us to inspire each other to take the time each day and remind
ourselves and each other how blessed we are."
D. Muir, Nanaimo, BC
"The first thing I learned in this
workshop was how to walk. What a start! (I enjoyed) your listening to us, and
your gentle corrections, as well as your encouragement."
Valerie Peyronnet - Paris, France
" (The seminar) was excellent. I had a wonderful time! Great fun as
well as great teaching! Lots of laughter, openness, info, as well as excellent
teaching of these skills. I have the sense that this has the potential to be a
wonderful body meditation that will benefit me a great deal.
With the video, my moves get better and better day
by day. Many thanks!"
Jim Henry - Spruce Grove, Alberta
"I know my quads will be stronger... and I'm thinking more about where I'm
placing my feet - figuratively and symbolically.
(I enjoyed) the personal attention, positive atmosphere, the timing of 'learning' then
'fermenting'.
I like the philosophy stew of Western/Eastern/science and the freedom to
pluck the wisdom that was right for the moment"
Mary Waggoner - Snohomish, WA
"My improved balance helps my golf swing - greater distance in my drive"
Peter Quily, Parksville, B.C.
"A wonderfully beneficial type of exercise for both the mind and the body
- given in an atmosphere of friendship, fun and support"
Dawn Ryan, Parksville, B.C.
"The tai chi week was all and more than I expected. You are both
such special human beings and I feel very enriched to have met you. It was such a high
point being with both of you!"
Frances Howard, Ormond Beach, FL
"I had such a rewarding time with all of you at Hollyhock and thank you for your
warmth and caring. Tai chi will be a very important part of my routine from now on."
Norma Washburn, Ormond beach, FL
"...I'm happy to say that I can feel the benefits of the retreat and the tai chi
everyday now... The video is really excellent and has allowed me to work right
where I left off."
Dr. Tim Pare - Jasper, Alberta |
