PRESENCE.
PAUSE.
power.
A powerful pilates retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica, led by Paula Curtosi and Vicky Kalonomos.
This retreat is for YOU - the one who loves to move and also wants to slow down. Those 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.
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.
You told us you’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 — powerful pilates and movement, supportive classes and workshops, beautiful surroundings, and plenty of space to just be.
You’ll leave feeling stronger, calmer, more confident, and deeply connected — to yourself and to this amazing like-minded community!
Why This Retreat?
Daily Pilates. Ocean air. Jungle mornings. Soul-filling connection.

Meet the teachers
As a busy mother and Risk Manager, fitness and yoga has been an outlet for Vicky for inner health, peace and strength. She has grown very passionate about the physical aspects of fitness for the mind and body, and loves to share the benefits with others.
Vicky has always had an interest in health. She wanted to advance that interest so she decided to begin her instructor journey in 2015. She graduated as a Registered Yoga Teacher 280hrs in 2015. In 2021 she acquired her certifications in Pilates and Barre. In 2024 she acquired her Pilates Reformer Fitness Certification. She has completed several workshops including Acro Yoga and Arm Balances, and has almost 11 years of teaching experience. She continues to share her passion with her students, teaching a fusion of all her certifications!!
Vicky Kalonomos
I am a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor with a lifelong passion for movement. As someone who grew up with severe anxiety, playing multiple sports became a powerful outlet for me to release those feelings. After exploring many different forms of exercise, Pilates was what made me feel the most confident and allowed me to stay the most consistent. Alongside my work as an instructor, I am also a psychology major, which deeply influences how I approach movement and teaching. I have always loved being part of people’s journeys toward becoming stronger and more confident, and knowing that I play even the smallest role in helping others feel empowered brings me so much joy. I am deeply passionate about supporting others not only physically, but mentally as well. I believe that strength shows up in many different forms, and that each one is equally important in its own way.
