I usually have the wonderful Maz from @rawliciousfoodnz catering for my retreats but she is on a well deserved break with her family in Australia.
I do however have my ultra talented friend Amanda from @house_of_pilates_nz helping out to make sure we nourish you with the most delicious snacks after our yoga class.
Women are so much more powerful when they come together 🤍
We look forward sharing our Sunday with you!

Understanding how science and spirituality go hand

Understanding how science and spirituality go hand in hand to combat stress.
Now more than ever while we are feeling the winter blues, is the time to give ourselves that extra love and re energise ourselves!
My next urban retreat is for you if:
- You’re too busy and don’t have time to get away for a typical weeklong retreat
- You want to connect with like minded individuals
- You feel stuck in certain areas of your life
- You have a curiosity about yourself and your purpose
- You’ll leave with actionable tools to take back into your everyday life that will help you feel inspired.
Through coaching, movement and connection, my goal along with @yogawithmarihalina and @tarrynbellingham is to help you create a life of impact.
Join us next Sunday at @omyogastudionz
We look forward connecting with you 🤍

You don’t create a fulfilling life by accident.

You don’t create a fulfilling life by accident. (We know from experience 😉)
Manifestation has become quite the buzz word these days. But we have to say, it works! And the combination of science and spirituality helps make it happen!
Spend the day with @tarrynbellingham, @yogawithmarihalina and I participating in a manifestation workshop, immersing ourselves in wellness (intuitive movement, understanding how you can rewrite your stress response, calm your nervous system and take charge of your life).
Putting into practice the tools given during the workshop will kick off the shifts you want to create in your life.
My next 1/2 day retreat is AUGUST 7TH. Tickets are in link in bio.
You’ll leave with actionable tools to create change in your everyday life.
Oh and did I mention there’s a pretty sweet gift bag and you will connect with an amazing group of people?!
Come join us at the beautiful @omyogastudionz and let’s shift some energy!

Who wants to WELLNESS RETREAT with us? Thought I

Who wants to WELLNESS RETREAT with us?
Thought I would re-introduce you to my wonderful guests :) and a little re- intro of myself as well as I have been a little quiet lately.
My next retreat will be AUGUST 7th at @omyogastudionz with my dear guests @tarrynbellingham and @yogawithmarihalina
Tarryn is a mindfulness teacher who is an expert at combining both science and spiritual principles to help reduce stress. I love how practical she is with her easy to follow tools that we can all implement.
Mari is a yoga teacher, specialising in somatic and yoga therapeutics.
Mari is driven by a passion to help and guide others on their yoga journey. She combines her love for dance and movement but is also passionate about mental health and well-being. As a result, her classes are just amazing!
And a little about me and my “why” :) my name is Karina Bolland.
I launched Balancing Act about 6 years ago. As a relatively new mother, in a new country with a new role in life. I yearned for connection - with other people, with the woman I was before having my first child and the new woman I was becoming.
Balancing Act is a community born of that experience. Together with my guests, we help women reconnect with themselves through productive, nurturing, and inspiring conversations with leaders and experts in well-being, but also conversations between ourselves.
We’re putting together an epic day of movement, wellness workshop focusing on understanding how science and spirituality go hand in hand to combat stress.
And of course we will have tons of goodies to treat yourself with during the retreat.
I know you might be looking forward to your holidays and the end of term break and taking care of yourself may be the last thing on your mind right now, BUT - we promise, you will be happy to have this on your calendar post holidays and a great way to kick off term 3!
Tickets currently on sale. Head to link in bio :) Looking forward seeing you all again after such a long time!

Our energy is depleted with things that cause us s

Our energy is depleted with things that cause us stress.
And at the moment, there is quite a bit of heaviness. Between the uncertainty that we are facing with Covid numbers going up in NZ. But also the heaviness with news from abroad.
Ironic, because the whole purpose of my workshop was how to preserve our energy!
When it comes to what’s going on here in NZ, being the optimist that I am, I do believe that once we pass the “peak”, we will come out of this ready to shine again!
We’ll all be singing: ‘I’m coming out, I want the world to know, got to let it show..” 🎶 💃🏻
But till then, we need all the patience and compassion 💐
@omyogastudionz and I have agreed that we will postpone our workshop again. So that we can all gather again post “peak” with more ease and confidence.
And God knows we will need it more than ever!
We can of course either reimburse you or keep the credit for the next workshop.
Until then, I wish you lots of love and health. See you soon at the studio!
Karina 💛

Hello! I am back :) I went quiet the last few mon

Hello! I am back :)
I went quiet the last few months focusing on the family during lockdown and then enjoying our glorious summer.
Now, back to reality! A new version of it at least…
There is definitely a lot of good energy when kids start a new school year, a new beginning for the whole family. But with the current circumstances, I know people have been feeling anxious with all the uncertainty that surround us.
That’s why it’s the perfect opportunity to kick start Balancing Act’s workshops this year with a workshop on:
“Understating how science and spirituality go hand in hand to combat stress and anxiety”.
Being in NZ and having family and friends abroad has given me a heads up on what’s to come. Who know really, but we might have the kids back at home for a while if need be, plans might get delayed, postponed or even canceled, who know when exactly we will see family again… The last two years have made us very resilient to change. But it is important to preserve our energy as we ride the wave so we don’t burn out. So we still manage to fill ourselves up with all the goodness we need, to be able to keep on giving…
My guest speaker @tarrynbellingham will cover:
🌸 What is energy from a science and spiritual viewpoint
🌸 How to rewire your mindset
🌸 How to create strong energetic boundaries
🌸 High vibe versus low vibe activities
🌸 Modelling strategies for the entire family unit
The workshop also includes:
🌸 A beautiful heart opening yoga class with @yogawithmarihalina
🌸 Balancing Act goodie bag with beautiful local wellness brands
🌸 Plant based snacks from @rawliciousfoodnz
🌸 @betterteaco delicious herbal tea
🌸 Connecting with like-minded people to spark new magic in your life
Can't wait to hold this space for you 😊
Tickets in link in bio.
