Somaesthetics, given its melioristic aims of improving experience, is centrally concerned with transformation. But the concept of transformation has not been properly theorized in somaesthetics. This chapter fills this gap by examining how to conceptualize somaesthetic transformation in a way that can advance both theory and practice in somaesthetic design. We first analyze the concept of transformative somaesthetic experience in terms of ten characteristics, and then we discuss three different exemplars of design involving somaesthetic transformation from different domains: design of practical workshops in somaesthetics, design in performance art, and design of human-computer somaesthetic interaction.
