The purpose of this study is to explore the physical and psychological change experiences of women after middle age through a yoga program. The research question for this is; First, what are the physical changes that occur through participation in a yoga meditation program based on the Saseobbeop? Second, what is the internal change through participation in a yoga meditation program based on the Saseobbeop? Third, when participating in a yoga meditation program based on the Four Substances, who was the target of the Saseobbeop? Written interviews were conducted with 39 participants in a yoga meditation program based on the Saseobbeop and analyzed using a modified consensus qualitative research (CQR-M) method. As a result of the analysis, 12 sub-areas were derived focusing on the three areas. Through this study, we reveal the changing experiences of post-middle-aged women with yoga meditation based on the Saseobbeop, thereby increasing the physical and emotional understanding of post-middle-aged women and establishing a way for post-middle-aged women to receive help not only through physical activity but also through Buddhism. The intention was to provide basic information.
