A RETREAT WITH PAULA CORTOSI AND VICKY KALONOMOS
STRONG BODIES. SOFT MINDS. REAL CONNECTION.
A women-only Pilates retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica, led by Paula Curtosi and Vicky Kalonomos.
This retreat is for the women who love to move and slow down. Who want to feel strong, confident, and grounded — but also want beach days, deep conversations, laughter, good food, and memories that actually last.
Pilates in Paradise is equal parts movement, rest, adventure, and connection. You’ll challenge your body, calm your nervous system, and spend a week surrounded by women who just get it.
Daily Pilates. Ocean air. Jungle mornings. Soul-filling connection.

WHY THIS RETREAT?
So many of us are stuck in go-mode — constantly working, training, pushing, producing. This retreat was created as an intentional pause.
Pilates in Paradise is about doing less better. Moving with intention instead of pressure. Getting stronger without burning out. Slowing your mind while still feeling energized and alive.
Our community told us they’re craving:
Strength and relaxation
Movement that feels good in their body
A safe, women-only space
Real connection and new friendships
Adventure without overwhelm
This retreat blends all of that — Pilates-first movement, supportive classes, beautiful surroundings, and plenty of space to just be.
You’ll leave feeling stronger, calmer, more confident, and deeply connected — to yourself and to others.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
This retreat is for you if:
You want to travel with like-minded women from around the world
You love Pilates (or want to deepen your practice)
You want to feel strong, toned, and grounded
You’re craving peace, clarity, and a mental reset
You want adventure, sunshine, and fun experiences
You want a space that’s inclusive, supportive, and judgment-free
Whether you’re new to Pilates, a regular in the studio, or an instructor yourself — this retreat meets you exactly where you are.
All bodies. All levels. All welcome.
