Mountain Waves Healing Arts is unique in many ways. One is in the way we offer a continuum of holistic services designed to help you achieve a higher state of awareness of your body, mind and spirit. This is unique in Flagstaff, because we provide these services under one roof, in a space that is convenient, comfortable and safe.
Another way we are unique is in our ability to combine these services into what we call Signature Services. We are combining specific services with the intent of creating a one-of-a-kind experience that can move you beyond the ordinary. Signature Services also allow for you to experience these services at a discount from the regular a-la-carte price. The first of our Signature Services we are introducing this month is the Mountain Wave.
The Mountain Wave starts with the profound relaxation of AquaZae’ followed by the nurturing touch of a Swedish Massage. The outcome leaves you deeply relaxed in your body and mind, while feeling exhilarated in your spirit!

We’ll keep you posted as we introduce more of our Signature Services in the coming weeks.
You are the only one who possesses the ability to heal and renew yourself. Our role at Mountain Waves is to provide a safe and nurturing place in which you can do it. Welcome.

Can you believe that it’s already November? Well, here it is along with the new November class and event calendar at Mountain Waves. Some of the major changes starting this month include a name change for the Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning yoga class, as well as a change to the format of the old Pilates classes.
What we used to call the “All Levels Yoga” class on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings will now be called Joyful Morning Yoga. There won’t be any changes to the format of the class. We simply feel that this name more accurately reflects the intention of the class. It’s an eclectic class designed to brighten your morning by incorporating yoga from many different backgrounds into an integrative and enlivening experience. Suitable for all levels of practitioner.
For similar reasons we’re making the change of Pilates to Intentional Core Strengthening. This, however, also involves some changes to the format of the class. Pilates by itself doesn’t incorporate the mindfulness component that we seek at Mountain Waves. Therefore, starting in November, the Intentional Core Strengthening Class will strengthen your physical body as well as strengthen your energetic and spiritual core. The class integrated movement and thought from yoga, pilates, qi gong, and more. We utilize body-bands, abdominal strengtheners, yoga posture, breath-work and visualization to leave you feeling strong and tall, centered and balanced. It’s a perfect class to improve your yoga or tai chi practice. The class happens Monday and Wednesday mornings at 7:00 am and Thursdays at 5:15 pm. Laura Colvin and Theresa Kulpinski are your instructors.
The next 3rd Friday (open to everyone) Conversation by Brad and George will be on the topic The Melancholy and Vulnerability of Change. Through the discussion, we’ll seek to understand why we humans are so often in favor of transformation, but when it comes right down to it, we balk and stall. Additionally, many folk have been investing tremendous energies in the Presidential campaign for change and will feel some kind of let down as the engine of change trammels on, hence melancholic and vulnerable.
Thanksgiving Dessert
Mountain Waves will be closed on Thanksgiving, but on the following day November 28th, Emily will conduct a Post-Thanksgiving Yoga Class to help you integrate your feelings of thankfulness from the day before – or work off the extra turkey if that’s what you’ll be needing!
