5 Years of Diwali Pilates with Aditi Shah

Diwali Pilates With Aditi Shah Dropped on Demand November 8, 2026

Aditi Shah marks the Festival of Lights with a new 20 minute class, adding to a run of Diwali classes that began in 2021.

Peloton is marking Diwali with a new 20 min Diwali Pilates class from Aditi Shah. The on demand class dropped at 12 AM ET on Sunday, November 8, so you can take it now.

A New Diwali Pilates Class for November 8

The class card invites members to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, with Peloton. It lists Aditi as the instructor, a 20 minute runtime, and a release time of 12 AM ET, which is 5 AM GMT.

This is at least the fifth year Aditi has taught a Diwali Pilates class on Peloton. Her earlier versions were built around playlists made with guest musicians, which gives the class a music-led feel alongside the Pilates work.

In some years, Peloton also features Diwali classes with other instructors as well.

What the Festival of Lights Celebrates

Diwali is one of the major festivals in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and its name comes from the Sanskrit word dipavali, meaning row of lights. The festival generally symbolizes the victory of light over darkness.

The celebration runs five days and follows the lunar calendar, so the dates shift each year and usually fall in late October or November. Families place small oil-filled clay lamps called diyas in front of homes and temples. Many also decorate with rangoli, a traditional Indian art form.

The first day, Dhanteras, is dedicated to cleaning homes and buying small items of gold. The third day is the main celebration, and the fourth day marks the start of the new year in the Vikrama calendar.

Diwali Pilates History and Looks From Aditi Shah

Aditi has tied the holiday to music in each class on record. Her 2021 Diwali Pilates class launched on Diwali, November 4, 2021, with a playlist built with Canadian rapper Tesher. Tesher described the mix as covering the sounds of Diwali parties, from classic Bollywood hits to hip-hop and EDM. Aditi said she wanted to elevate South Asian artists and celebrate special parts of the culture, and that the class was about fun and shared joy.
