Wow! Wow! Wow! I had no expectations about this trip to Costa Rica going in, but this retreat was a once in a lifetime experience that I will not soon forget. The accomodation, food, and the people were absolutely amazing!! Mikaela and Mama Sue are two of the most genuine and caring people. I highly recommend Evolve Retreats to anyone who is even considering going on a retreat. Every detail was thought of with precision and care even when Mother Nature decided to throw a couple of curve balls our way. I can't wait to see where my next Evolve Retreat experience takes me!!!

The Nosara Evolve retreat was a grounding and nurturing experience with each yoga practice open to all abilities, injuries, ages and energies. Mik brings a beautiful strong but calm energy and creates a space that is safe for you to explore parts of yourself that allow for real transformation and growth. Mik and Sue truly go above and beyond, even when Mother Nature has other ideas. Loved the week. Loved the people. And loved this beautiful offering Mik has created.

If you’re searching for a yoga and wellness retreat in Costa Rica that’s both nourishing and transformational, Evolve Retreats with Mik Mill (Mikaela Millington) is something special. My partner and I attended as a couple - and this was our second retreat with Mik - and we genuinely feel the growth and expansion every time we return. Mik’s approach is what sets this experience apart. Her retreats are grounded in a “living yoga” philosophy - taking the practice beyond a single class and into how you breathe, relate, reflect, and move through your life. Her sessions feel intentional and intelligently sequenced: asana, meditation, breathwork (pranayama), and guided journaling/self-study are woven together in a way that supports real insight, not just a temporary high. And then there’s Mik’s energy: a mix of calm confidence and a playful, light-hearted innocence that makes you feel welcomed exactly as you are. That combination - structure + softness - creates safety. We felt comfortable being open, being seen, and fully immersing ourselves in the inward journey she guides. What we also appreciate is the overall retreat rhythm. Evolve is designed with a balanced schedule that includes meaningful inner work and spacious downtime to integrate and rest - something a lot of retreats forget. And it truly feels inclusive whether you’re a seasoned yogi or newer to the practice, solo or coming with a partner. In short: Mik leads with heart, clarity, and a grounded spiritual intelligence. If you want an Evolve Costa Rica retreat near Nosara that blends depth, connection, and joy in a way that feels authentic, we can’t recommend it enough.

Recently, I went on a yoga retreat expecting nothing more than some physical recovery. I was surprised by how deeply it healed both my body and my spirit. It reminded me to let go, release old patterns, and move forward gently—with love and intention. Thank you, Mikayla and Mama Sue, for going above and beyond to make sure everything flowed into such a seamless experience. Thank you for not only guiding us, but for fully immersing yourselves alongside us as well. 🤍

I have been fortunate enough to attend a handful of retreats with wonderful instructors, but honestly - Evolve outshines the rest tenfold! Each day Mikhaila offered a heartfelt theme and weaved it so beautifully throughout the classes. I felt completely taken care of as both Mikhaila and Momma Sue took care of each tiny detail. I will absolutely be attending more retreats with these incredible women
