Aline Newton

For nearly forty years, Aline Newton has worked with dancers, athletes, engineers, trauma survivors, and anyone seeking greater ease, resilience, and connection to their body.

Drawing on decades of experience as a Rolfer, movement educator, and insights from yoga, tai chi, Pilates, craniosacral and visceral manipulation, her work blends science, somatic practice, and human curiosity. Her new book Reimagining the Body invites readers to better understand the living, moving body—not just as a machine of bones and muscles, but as a sensing, adapting, meaning-making whole.

Aline Newton maintains an active practice in Cambridge, MA, serves as Chair of the Rolf Movement Faculty at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, teaches at Boston Conservatory, and is a highly in-demand speaker on topics in the field of somatics. She holds a BA from Johns Hopkins University, an MA in Education from the University of Toronto, and certifications in Rolf Structural Integration and many other therapeutic modalities.
