Intervention model description: The introductory information form and MÖYKÖ tests will be applied. Women with high MÖYKÖ scores will be divided into experimental and control groups using purposeful sampling, according to the lottery method, and those in the experimental group will be contacted by phone and asked to come to the Famagusta Development Academy (MGA) on the day and time determined. Sessions will begin after 12 weeks of health training and Hatha yoga practice are planned. At the end of 12 weeks, final tests will be administered to women who have participated for at least 10 weeks. Those in the control group will be called by phone and invited to MGA Maraş for their first test, and an appointment will be made 12 weeks later for their final test.

Brief summary: The aim of the study is to examine the effect of health education and yoga intervention prepared according to Pender's Health Promotion Model on menopausal women's "menopause-specific quality of life" compared to routine care. Health education and yoga will be conducted by a certified and responsible investigator. After obtaining informed consent from the participants, the scales will be applied before and after health education and yoga practice.

Many methods have been used in the literature to manage menopause symptoms. However, this study is important to present health education prepared according to Pender's health development model, which will enable women to develop health responsibility awareness, and to manage and alleviate menopausal symptoms of yoga practice planned in this context, to determine its effect on quality of life and to provide a source for literature.
