This trip was one for the books! Details were well organized with flexibility built into the retreat. The sports psychology/golf and yoga portions were very professionally executed. I would do another retreat with Michaela and Rashmeen (Golf PhD) in a heartbeat.

Experiencing an Evolve retreat was like being in a dream! A vacation where I was fully taken care of, felt safe, nurtured by movement, meditation and community, delicious food in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. It was exactly what I was seeking, and far exceeded my expectations. Mikaela is a fantastic, kind yoga instructor, retreat curator and host; somehow she manages to create magic on retreat - an experience you truly need to experience to fully understand. 💜

Genuinely had the best time ever! The retreat was incredible, and Mik is such an amazing yoga teacher - she truly is meant to be doing this. The food was absolutely delicious, and every detail felt so thoughtfully done. I couldn’t recommend an Evolve retreat more. If you’re thinking about going do it! Worth every minute.

Wow! My first yoga retreat and it was amazing! The yoga was so fun, welcoming but deep tissue intense at the same time. Mik is a masterful instructor with easy to follow cues and seamless transitions. By following her friendly cues I found myself moving with confidence into new and exciting positions. Best of all was the peaceful-spirit-elevated space she created for us.. The itinerary pacing was great! A good balanced between body (yoga & golf) and mind enrichment (I.e.,, an insightful presentation by Dr. Nirmal on Golf Psychology). The exceptional menu prepared by Chef Billie was DELICIOUS! I am definitely hooked... already trying to sign up for next year.

Five stars hardly feels like enough for an experience that has shifted something so deeply within me. There is a rare kind of grace in the space Mik creates. A softness that allows you to arrive exactly as you are, while somehow making room for the person you are becoming. Through this work, I found parts of myself I had tucked away for years. I was gently invited toward the places that once felt uncomfortable, and on the other side of that discomfort, I found something I had almost forgotten how to recognize: joy. I have cried, unraveled, learned, softened, rebuilt and healed. Not in a way that feels performative or fleeting, but in a way that has quietly changed how I move through my own life. There is something extraordinary about being guided back to yourself with that much care. I came wanting to heal, and somewhere along the way, I began meeting a version of myself I genuinely want to know, honour and love. Mik’s kindness, wisdom, intuition and the intention behind everything she offers are difficult to put into words. Some experiences leave you with memories. This one left me with more of myself. For that, I will always be grateful.
