Ginger Dunaway, owner of Quiet Mind Massage and Yoga in Mobile has opened in a new space to provide restorative massage therapy and private yoga sessions by appointment. “Whether it’s through massage or yoga, it is my goal for every client to leave feeling as if life has slowed down, priorities are back in line with what really matters and their life purpose is clear as day. Massage and yoga are therapeutic on so many levels,” says Dunaway.

Quiet Mind opened in 2010 but Dunaway has been a licensed and nationally certified massage therapist for the last 23 years here in Mobile. Her work includes detailed neuromuscular therapy (trigger-point work) for specific pain patterns as well as deep tissue and restorative modalities. “I often work with clients who have frequent headaches, neck and shoulder pain, sciatic pain or lower back or hip discomfort,” says Dunaway. “I also utilize my intuition with energy work for a deeper, more relaxing experience in the massage.”

A yoga practitioner for 21 years and a Kripalu certified yoga teacher for 15 years, Dunaway has experienced firsthand the life-changing power of a consistent yoga practice and shares this in her book, Way of the Spiritual Yogi: 6-Step Guidebook to Find Your Self and on her website Spiritual-Yogi.com. “Yoga is considered movement meditation. For some of us, we are more drawn to movement meditation rather than seated meditation,” Dunaway explains. “Both yoga as movement meditation and seated meditation are exceptional practices and help take us beyond the chatter of the mind to a place in which we have access to higher guidance, deep peace and total contentment. If you are under a lot of stress or going constantly with kids, work, etc. then hatha yoga is the perfect way to clear your mind and rebalance your body.”
