MEET EVOLVED MOVEMENT

Evidence-based education for movement professionals who care about doing things well.

Evolved Movement was created to provide movement professionals with high-quality, evidence-based education that bridges the gap between theory and practice. Founded by educators Liz Wilson and Alinta Burton, our courses and workshops combine scientific insight, practical application, and a genuine respect for the art of teaching movement.

Liz Wilson

Co-Founder & Senior Educator

Liz’s path to movement education began long before her first Pilates class. With an early background in dance and Feldenkrais, and an honours degree in veterinary science, she brings a rare blend of scientific curiosity and embodied understanding to everything she teaches.

She began practising Pilates in 1993 and went on to found The Perth Pilates Studio in 2000, where she mentored hundreds of instructors over nearly two decades. Since joining the Polestar Pilates international teaching faculty in 2003, Liz has educated and examined instructors around the world and continues to serve as a Senior Educator and Examiner.

Alongside her role at Evolved Movement, Liz is the founder of Barre 2.0, a modern, evidence-informed approach to barre education.

Her teaching is known for its clarity, depth and warmth, a mix that helps instructors make sense of complex ideas and apply them confidently in real studios with real clients. Through Evolved Movement, she brings together her passion for science, creativity and lifelong learning to help movement professionals refine their craft and build sustainable, fulfilling careers.

Alinta Burton

Co-Founder & Creative Director

Alinta’s career brings together movement, education and creative production. A Polestar Certified Pilates Instructor, Mentor in Training and Barre 2.0 teacher, she has spent the past eight years teaching internationally across Australia, Hong Kong and the Philippines, including at leading studios such as Isofit in Hong Kong, Performance Pilates and Physiotherapy in Perth and Arise Studio Health in Melbourne.

With a Bachelor of Film and Television (Honours) and an Advanced Diploma of Performing Arts, Alinta combines her movement expertise with a sharp creative eye and a meticulous approach to detail. Her background in performance, yoga and other movement modalities gives her a deep understanding of how people move and learn, which she now channels into producing clear, engaging and technically refined education content for Evolved Movement.

As both a teacher and creative producer, Alinta is passionate about helping instructors build technical precision, confidence and creativity in their work through education that is both visually engaging and grounded in sound movement science.
