Praise for
Spilt Milk Yoga
Reading this book, I felt I was with a warm, honest, and down-to-earth friend, sharing her insight and humor into what she aptly calls 'the volcanically active landscape' of family life. Cathryn Monro invites us to look deeply into our own experience and cultivate the qualities we most need as mothers to live our love — inner strength, flexibility, balance, and most importantly, greater self-awareness.

Cathryn Monro's passion for parenting and self-enquiry is woven into this practical and provocative tool for all mothers. Using recognisable, embarrassing and often hilarious examples Spilt Milk Yoga allows us to reveal our own truths, making us more open and ready to grow at the kitchen sink and beyond.
—Kate McIntyre Clere, Director YOGAWOMAN
I am a working mother of three, and Cathryn's inspirational book resonates wtih me on many levels. She achieves a universal message through the particular stories she tells. The ingenious workbook form provides a practical and clear pathway to deal with the issues mothers face yet Cathryn's main concern is spirit and how we can light the way for ourselves and our kids.

A wise and insightful guide to embracing the transformative journey of motherhood as one of life's most profound gifts. Spilt Milk Yoga is the warm companion we need at our sides, connecting us to our own humanity as we navigate the constantly shifting terrain of tears, laughter, and learning. I wish someone had given this book to me when I was a new mom!
—Shelley Davidow, author of Raising Stress-Proof Kids
Monro seems to be searching for the meaing of motherhood while inviting her readers to do the same. For readers who enjoy understanding life’s transitions from a spiritual angle and are interested in a self-investigation into their mothering experiences, this book is a must.
—Laurie Hollman, PhD, Psychoanalyst and author of Unlocking Parental Intelligence
No other book has been able to combine the human and the divine so aptly. I have read many books, websites, youtube channels and blogs looking for parenting advice. They were all full of models and rules. Spilt Milk Yoga is not that; it is a tool that leads me to my own wisdom. I can dip into any page and find answers
