‘It’s not all about making great kids, its also about making a great you.'

Following the release of her book "Spilt Milk Yoga - a guided self-inquiry to finding your own wisdom, joy, and purpose through motherhood" Cathryn Monro is offering a 2 hour workshop in Wellington for mothers to come together in a safe environment and engage with the inner work of mothering. Participants can expect to be guided through processes of self-reflection and connection, and come away feeling empowered, with fresh insight into the value of their lives as mothers. Limited to 10 participants.

Spilt Milk Yoga approaches motherhood as a path offering life’s richest and most profound lessons on love, acceptance and joy. Cathryn will guide participants through a mother-friendly process in which the daily "spilt milk" challenges we face become opportunities to grow, not in spite of motherhood, but because of it.

“Motherhood is like the most intense retreat we could ever go on, all the exits are blocked, we meet our habits, our best and worst behaviours, and no matter what we have to show up every day and be “mum”, even when we don’t feel up to it. And it’s especially when we don’t feel up to it that we have the opportunity to find a new way forward. Because as mothers we want to do our best for our kids when we wouldn’t do it otherwise. What better place to practice love, compassion, tolerance, and understanding than with ourselves and our children?"

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.
