The aim of this study is to examine how climacteric women's Soma has changed in response to somatic movement training. The study was conducted for a total of 10 months from March to December 2021, and participants were four climacteric women aged 50-56 registered in a fitness club. After conducting twelve somatic movement training sessions, in-body measurement, Kupperman index, and Telomere Assessmant were performed. The study first found that all four participants' menopausal symptoms (such as fatigue, insomnia, arthralgia, and depression) improved. In the telomere trajectory analysis, participants' physical activity duration increased, their quality of sleep improved, and their level of social support increased. The study participants reported, through somatic data, that the somatic movement training improved their body's awareness and control, encouraged emotional healing, and strengthened their social connections. Both expressive and functional movements were improved by somatic movement training.
