Sweat and Soul Retreats was born from a deep passion for movement, mindset, and the power of women supporting women. We’ve experienced firsthand how transformative it is to break free from daily routines, push past self-doubt, and step into a space where confidence and connection thrive. We wanted to create something beyond just another wellness retreat—something that brings together high-energy movement, radical self-discovery, and the kind of sisterhood that changes lives.
This is more than just a retreat. It’s a space for women to shed self-doubt, embrace their power, and return home as the most vibrant, empowered version of themselves. We created this because we know what’s possible when women lift each other up—and we can’t wait for you to feel that, too.

Hi, I’m Michyla the founder of KALON Pilates!
I found reformer pilates when I was around 19, I fell in love with it but couldn’t afford the expensive classes that were available in my hometown. Fast forward about 5 years, the beginning of COVID-19, I found an online mat pilates platform, and it changed my life. My workouts became consistent, they didn’t take much time from my day and best of all the results were noticeable almost immediately. My physical and mental health did a 180, and two years later, I signed up to obtain my mat and reformer pilates certification in Bali, Indonesia.
I knew I wanted to create an inclusive, real & authentic platform. Something that broke away from the “clean girls” stereotype Pilates has been given while encompassing the soft aesthetic of Pilates with a side of swearing.
That was when KALON was born. KALON meaning “beauty more than skin deep,” was chosen to represent the brand I wanted to create. A platform that has been slowly building in the community and online, to provide you with workouts that are empowering, relatable, realistic and targeted to your specific needs.
The Costa Rica retreat was hands down one the best experiences of my entire life! The daily workouts, breath work sessions and workshops were a transformative experience all on their own on top of Jace and Michyla providing such an inspiring and accepting atmosphere where we could be open, honest and vulnerable. This retreat changed my life for the better. I left with a new perspective, more self confidence and so many new friendships and connections I will cherish for a lifetime. I would recommend this retreat to anyone and everyone and I hope to join them again in the future!!

Be impulsive, book the trip!! First time solo travelling but I never actually felt alone. Jace & Mic thought of it all and the trip was so well organized from start to finish. I had the best time connecting in such a safe and welcoming environment. I learned so much about myself and gained a clearer understanding of what’s important to me as well as let go of what isn’t. All the girls were amazing and it was so inspiring hearing others stories and relating to like minded people. The retreat was the perfect combination of mental, physical, and spiritual activation. 11/10 recommend this trip to any solo or bestie duo!

Truly a life changing experience. I left a part of my heart in Tamarindo!
The girls were incredible, the villa was breathtaking, and the workshops and workouts were challenging but rewarding.
I’m so grateful for Jace and Mic for hosting this retreat - it is something I will take with me for the rest of my life.
