Disney Princess Pilates Arrives With New 20-Minute Class

Aditi Shah leads Peloton’s first class built around Disney princess storytelling

Peloton is rolling out Disney Princess Pilates this week, the first class on the platform built specifically around Disney princesses rather than heroes or villains. Instructor Aditi Shah leads the live session Thursday, August 20, tying the release to Disney’s World Princess Week.

Where the new class fits in the Peloton Disney Collection

Peloton has spent the past several years building out Disney branded content across nearly every discipline. Hannah Corbin, Leanne Hainsby-Alldis and Sam Yo have each led a Disney Villains Ride on the bike, and Sam Yo also taught a Disney Heroes Ride. Alex Karwoski brought the villains theme to rowing with Disney Villains Row, and Aditi Shah previously led a Disney Villains Yoga Flow. This is the first time the platform has used a princess label instead of heroes or villains for a themed class.

All of that content lives inside the Peloton Disney Collection, a library that has grown to more than 125 classes across cycling, strength, yoga, running and rowing. Disney Princess Pilates adds a new branding lane to that collection rather than replacing the villains and heroes series that came before it. Members can browse the full lineup through the Disney Workouts Collection on Peloton’s website.

What to expect from Disney Princess Pilates

The class streams live Thursday, August 20 at 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT), based on the class schedule Peloton shared ahead of release. The 20 minute session is listed at Intermediate difficulty and set to Disney songs tied to World Princess Week programming. Rather than build the format around one character, Aditi Shah centers the class on confidence and inner strength, using the storytelling behind the songs as the throughline for the workout.

Peloton categorizes Pilates content under Strength on the app, alongside mat based routines that mix core work, controlled movement and light resistance. Positioning this release there keeps it consistent with the rest of Peloton’s Pilates catalog, even as the class borrows its music and framing from World Princess Week.

Once the live session wraps, the class will move into the On Demand library alongside the rest of the Peloton Disney Collection catalog, where members can revisit it on their own schedule. That pattern has held for every other Disney themed release on the platform, from the villains series to the heroes content that came before it.

Part of a bigger World Princess Week push

The timing lines up with a broader slate of releases tied to World Princess Week, including new product collaborations and a Disney+ premiere of LEGO Disney Princess: Magical Mayhem the day after Disney Princess Pilates debuts. If member response mirrors what Peloton has seen from its Villains and Heroes series, this could be the start of a recurring princess lineup rather than a single themed release.
