More About Aline Newton
			Aline Newton is an Advanced Certified Rolfer, in private practice for over 20 years. She served for many years as Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Rolf Institute. She has also been on the faculty of the Foundations Program of the Rolf Institute. She holds her BA from Johns Hopkins University and her MA in Education from the University of Toronto. In addition to her Rolfing studies, Aline has studied cranio-sacral manipulation, visceral manipulation and energetic osteopathic techniques. She also has many years of experience with body-oriented approaches to psychotherapy as well as meditation. Her interest in movement has led her to explore various paths from yoga to tango to basketball. Since 1990 she has studied extensively with Hubert Godard, dancer, Rolfer and movement educator, and assisted him in many workshops. Through a Rolfer’s eyes Aline integrates movement principles with structural manipulation, bringing the insights of yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates into her approach to Rolfing. She has written and published many articles on aspects of movement, biomechanics and psychodynamics. In 2005, Aline developed the Physical Intelligence Program at MIT with the coach of MIT’s gymnastics team. Aline’s research and writing interests span the range from the effect of touch on the brain to the parallels between Buddhist thought and the perspective of Rolfing. In her free time she studies music, in particular, the classical Hindustani vocal tradition and the klezmer accordion.
