Tai Chi Yoga

Tai Chi Yoga brings joy to life's journey by combining two separate healing and rejuvenating disciplines into one enjoyable routine with integrated stomach breathing. Innovated 45 years ago by master teacher John C Neubauer, it awakens the senses, calms the spirit, and refreshes the body.

Tai Chi Yoga brings joy to life's journey by combining two separate healing and rejuvenating disciplines into one enjoyable routine with integrated stomach breathing. Innovated 45 years ago by master teacher John C Neubauer, it awakens the senses, calms the spirit, and refreshes the body. It combines the unwinding of yoga with the floating of tai chi with more profound benefits than either practiced separately. Unlike regular exercise, you feel great while doing it as well as after doing it. Doing it is like movement meditation. One of its key principles is learning to "yield and overcome."

Massage Therapy

Here at Ascend, we offer standard and holistic massage therapy with trained practitioners in Cranial Sacral Massage, which is a technique that helps to gain clear insight into how your body holds stress, the patterns of thoughts and beliefs that keep your muscles tight, so that you can address the root causes of muscle soreness and tension.

I wanted to work for Ascend because of their focus on faith-based services. God has blessed me throughout my life and I know He blesses others, but our mental and emotional health can impact our connection with Him.

John Neubauer

John Neubauer (76) began yoga in 1973 for lingering leg cramps from college basketball. Within weeks, the cramps went away and never came back. He began tai chi in 1975 for lingering shoulder and neck tension. Within weeks, that tension went away and never came back. In 1977 while spending a week in the French Alps with one of the world’s greatest tai chi masters then, Gia Fu Feng, he was inspired on how to combine the two into a single discipline he called Tai Chi Yoga.

John has taught thousands in the US and Europe, including ballet companies, athletes, and people of all ages, shapes, and conditions. In the 1970’s, he owned and operated the largest yoga studio in Kentucky and one of the largest in the country then.

In 2023 he published his first book on Amazon THE POWER OF TAI CHI YOGA and his second in 2024 THE HOW-TO OF TAI CHI YOGA. In 2025 he will publish his third, CONNECTING SPIRITS: DANCING WITH TAI CHI YOGA”. He currently serves as adjunct professor of tai chi at Snow College (Ephraim, Utah) and teaches private in-person classes thru out Sanpete County, Utah where he lives.

As a master of Tai Chi Yoga, and inventor in bringing the two together, John brings an important element to our team in improving holistic mental health and wellness. There are many well-researched benefits of yoga especially and also tai chi.

Tai chi is a non-competitive martial art known for its self-defense techniques and is a “meditation-in-motion”. It combines gentle physical exercise and stretching with mindfulness and stomach breathing. Tai Chi can improve balance control, fitness, flexibility, can alleviate depression, stress, and anxiety as it promotes a sense of inner-peace.

Yoga has many benefits of increasing mobility and range of motion, increasing depth of breathing, enhancing mindfulness, increasing strength and flexibility. As well as improving your sleep and reducing stress.

When these two forms of gentle exercises are combined, Tai Chi Yoga becomes a powerful tool to enhance and deepen your life experience. We are excited John has joined our team and look forward to all the benefits of Tai Chi Yoga for our clients!
