Of course, as a racecar driver, Danica has suffered her fair share of traumas. Whether that be emotional or physical. But we will focus on the emotional aspect, as she recently appreciated Mastin Kipp, a specialist in the field.

Patrick explained better as she said, “It’s emotional therapy through moving the body, breath, and acknowledging what comes up.”

“In class you put your hand on your heart and lower stomach (sacral) to reset the body between moves.”

“……Today I put my left hand on my stomach…. and the back of my right hand on my back, surrounding the solar plexus chakra, and all I heard was – I got you, I always have. That is the main chakra that lights up on me in life.”
