Hi friends! I’m Mikaela (Mik), a movement guide (Yoga and Pilates; YouTube @MIKMILLMOVEMENT), wellness advocate, and founder of Evolve Retreats. I began leading retreats when I realized there was so much more to explore beyond a one-hour yoga class. I wanted to create immersive experiences that allow us to shift perspective, lean into ritual, awaken joy, and truly listen to what our hearts are calling us toward. Rooted in the concept of "living yoga", Evolve Retreats are here to support you on your ever-evolving journey through life.

This was my second retreat experience with Mikaela. I was curious to see if it would be quite similar to the last one. So pleased to find that other than the basic structure, everything felt new and well thought out. Loved the yoga/pilates, lots to challenge myself and learn from. Lovely space, warm and welcoming with lots of amenities, and the extracurricular trips were spectacular!
I know the people make the retreat, but Mik has a way of bringing out the possibilities for everyone! Enjoyed every second… and the food was spectacular too!

So special having you back again, Vivianne. I’m grateful we get to continue evolving and exploring together! You bring such a beautiful sense of warmth to every retreat, something that I and everyone in the group deeply feel. Having you there, and your daughter cooking for us, made it such a unique and heartwarming experience, one I will never forget.

Mik is a magical human! Her ability to unify a group of strangers, through both movement and intentional conversation, feels effortless and uniquely hers. Being in her presence is equal parts calm & invigorating! She leads every movement class, journal reflection and excursion with a high standard of attention to detail. It was an honour to share this time with her and the other retreat participants ❤️❤️.
By Cassidy C for Evolve | Tofino, British Columbia on Nov 04, 2025
Thank you so much for these beautiful words Cassidy! It truly fills my heart to know that you felt deeply connected and inspired throughout your experience. The energy and openness you brought played such a big part in creating that sense of unity within the group. It was an absolute joy to share this retreat with you!
By Mikaela Millington on Nov 04, 2025
This trip exceeded all of my expectations. Mikaela created an atmosphere of trust, openness, and lightheartedness. Everyone was able to fully relax while fully immersing themselves in the practice and experiencing it in the right way for them. I would 100% come again and recommend to anyone interested in finding a retreat with all the good vibes.

Thank you for being YOU, Julia, and for bringing your radiant light and genuine energy to the group. It was so inspiring to witness your devotion to presence and your ability to tune inward, giving yourself exactly what you needed in each moment. P.S. Thank you for the big belly laughs!

A beautifully curated experience with the perfect blend of adventure, ease, nurturing, and soul-filling moments. The group flow was lovely, and one of the biggest highlights was getting to know the incredible people who attended. I loved how the itinerary allowed us to truly experience the magic of Tofino while still giving plenty of free time to wander and soak it all in. The food was another highlight—every meal was delicious, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared to keep us feeling our best throughout. I can’t recommend Evolve Retreats enough!
By Chelsey E for Evolve | Tofino, British Columbia on Oct 31, 2025
So incredibly special to have you back again, Chelsey. It was such a joy to experience EVOLVE with you once more and to witness how we continue to grow, both individually and alongside one another. The journey never truly ends - we are constantly inspired by the places we gather, the energy that surrounds us, and the beautiful souls who come together in each group. It was especially meaningful to have you and your partner there :) I look forward to the next retreat with you both!
By Mikaela Millington on Nov 03, 2025
Absolutely spectacular retreat! The kind of trip that felt like having an old friend show you around paired with movement, top-notch food, self reflection and adventure!
If you are thinking about going just book it :)

Haley, thank you so much for joining the Evolve Retreat in Tofino. It was such a pleasure getting to know you more, and I have a feeling this won’t be the last time our paths cross!
