As a student of Bharatanatyam, a form of sacred Indian classical dance, Daniela Riva connects with the divine using choreography that dates back more than two millennia. In developing her expertise, and her following as a performer, teacher, and author, Daniela tells Wonderstruck's Elizabeth Rovere that it took years of dedication and surrender to understand how to move profound currents of energy throughout her body. During a period of awakening, while stomping her feet in service of her dance training, Daniela recalls feeling a jolt. "My teacher has a beautiful way to describe this," Daniela tells Wonderstruck's Elizabeth Rovere. "She used to tell me, 'Daniela, this is like current. It's like electricity. We need to channel this energy--otherwise, it is just pure energy, and it's everywhere.'" Now, having harnessed this energy, Daniela shares how each of us can activate our own bodies in pursuit of empowerment, happiness, and spiritual growth.
