Golf + Wellness Retreat For Women
Bowen Island, British Columbia
July 22-24, 2026
Welcome to a retreat where mindfulness meets the fairway. Dr. Rashmeen Nirmal and Mikaela Millington invite you into a unique experience where yoga and golf come together through their shared foundations of focus, presence, and embodied awareness. Throughout the retreat, you will explore both practices as opportunities to slow down, connect with your breath, and cultivate greater ease, balance, and awareness in both body and mind.
❋ Intentional StructureWe blend guided practices, open exploration, and time for reflection so the experience feels both purposeful and spacious. Each element of the retreat is thoughtfully designed to support learning, integration, and inspiration!
❋ Collaborative EnergyConnection is an important part of the experience. Through shared practices, conversations, and time together on the course, guests often discover that learning becomes profound through shared experience and community support.
❋ Expert FacilitationLed by Dr. Rashmeen Nirmal of GOLF PHD and Mikaela Millington of Evolve Yoga Retreats, this retreat combines expertise in sport psychology, golf performance, and mindful yoga practices. Guests are invited to explore the physical and mental dimensions of their golf game with curiosity, as well as discovering how yoga can enhance both their game and their overall well-being.
❋ A Supportive SpaceComfort, respect, and inclusivity are at the heart of this retreat experience. Guests are invited to show up as they are, move at their own pace, and engage with the practices in a way that feels meaningful and supportive.

I'm just out here doing what I love and hopefully that's what grows the game naturally. I'm not trying to push anything. I hope that people see me for who I am and that I love this game.
