whAT IS ALLIYANA MOVEMENT?
‘Movement for healing, strength, and embodied freedom.
‘Alliyana’, from the Quechua language of South America, means to heal, cure, or recover. Alliyana Movement is a holistic movement practice created by Daniel Sonic Rojas, offering simple yet powerful pathways to strengthen, restore, and reconnect the body, mind, and spirit.
Grounded in breath, full-body mobility, holistic conditioning, fascial and lymphatic integration, and sustainable energy, Alliyana Movement draws from Daniel’s 30+ years of personal movement research and embodiment. It is a uniquely integrative method that weaves together feeling, self-witnessing, mobility, locomotion, coordination, alignment, flexibility, strengthening, and presence - offering a complete movement experience accessible to both beginners and professionals.
The practice helps the body open and reorganize from within: softening and reshaping the fascia, clearing stagnation, supporting the lymphatic and nervous systems, and preventing or rehabilitating injuries. Students often describe feeling more alive, spacious, and deeply connected, as if every layer of the body begins to communicate again.
Alliyana Movement is always evolving. Its purpose is to inspire self-sustainable movers who can enrich their own discipline or practice, seeing movement as medicine and as inspiration for whole-body living.
Invigorate yourself with a renewed connection to breath, organic movements and sustainable energy practices that explore mobility, locomotion, coordination, agility, strength and flexibility of all your faculties.
What are the essential pillars for an Alliyana Movement Practice?
Connection to Breath
Breath as the foundation for energy, awareness, and nervous system regulation.
Full Body Mobility
Creating freedom and space through spirals, joint lubrication, fluid transitions, and organic movement pathways.
Holistic Strength & Conditioning
Building sustainable strength & flexibility through intelligent, functional, and intuitive movement.
Fascia & Lymphatic Integration
