Aroma Flow Yoga: Lunar Balance – A Woman’s Guide to Holistic Care
Aroma Flow Yoga: Graceful Change – Home Yoga for Easing Menopause

A yoga guide centered on the female physiological cycle. Scientifically, menstruation is "the moon’s missive": just as the moon waxes and wanes every 27.5 days, the uterine lining follows a similar rhythm. Periods are not merely physical bleeding; hormonal fluctuations profoundly impact mind and body—a journey of seeking invisible balance.
During writing, Santōshima’s parenting experience confirmed this: premenstrual sensitivity turned her children’s rejection of homemade almond tofu (in favor of red bean ice pops) into heartache. She admits: "I hid in my room, engulfed in quiet sorrow." This mirrors modern women’s struggles—active yet weary at forty-plus.
Blending yoga and Ayurveda, the book offers revolutionary solutions:
► ​​Cycle-synced yoga phases​​:
・ ​​Menstruation (New→Crescent Moon)​​: Purifying poses like "Reclined Bound Angle" foster self-care.
・ ​​Follicular Phase (Crescent→Full Moon)​​: "Goddess Squat" builds vitality.
・ ​​Luteal Phase (Full→Waning Moon)​​: "Banana Pose" balances reserves.
► ​​Health cognition reset​​:
Ayurveda reveals: each period is the body’s health report card. Modern women experience ~2,500 period days (≈6 years). Through diet, rest, and mindful connections, we transform.
With raw honesty—"scribbling this shameful truth as my kids lick ice pops"—Santōshima invites global women: All life emerges from menstruating bodies. May you reclaim wholeness in the moon’s rhythm.

Historically, menstruation is "the moon’s seal"—essential for life’s renewal.
As the moon cycles every 27.5 days, so does the uterine lining. Periods involve not just bleeding but hormonal shifts shaping our being. Coexisting with this body is a quest for invisible balance.
While writing:
I made almond tofu "to be a good mom." My son said, "Not my taste," grabbing red bean ice pop instead. My daughter cheered. Though trivial—children’s indifference signals health—that premenstrual day, I pleaded: "Please eat Mom’s dessert." Then hid, weeping.
Premenstrual sensitivity magnifies wounds. At forty-plus, I once chased intense yoga highs. After childbirth, fatigue made male-designed routines unbearable.
Against this backdrop, Lunar Balanceoffers ​​hormone-synced yoga​​—validated by 20th-century prenatal/postpartum practices. Ayurveda teaches: menstrual health reflects overall wellness; each period is the body’s love letter. We rewrite it monthly through diet, rest, and connection.
All humans—regardless of skin or creed—are born of menstruating bodies. Modern women bleed ~2,500 days (≈6 years). May every woman riding this tide, laughing or crying through today, rediscover her innate wholeness through lunar yoga.
