Peloton for Perimenopause and Menopause Series: Meditation

For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, stress, sleep disruptions, and hormonal shifts can feel relentless. This article is part of our Peloton for Perimenopause series, where we explore how to use Peloton’s offerings to support training and wellness during perimenopause and menopause.

One tool that’s often overlooked? Peloton meditation. Beyond cardio and strength classes, Peloton offers daily meditation, mindfulness tools, collections and structured programs that can help you stay grounded, recover faster, and manage mood and sleep changes naturally.

Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to integrate it into an existing routine, understanding Peloton’s programs, collections, and filters can make meditation during perimenopause and menopause approachable—and actually enjoyable. For a deeper dive into the difference between programs and collections, check out our older article: Peloton Programs vs Peloton Collections – Which One Is Right for You.

 

Why Daily Meditation Matters During Perimenopause and Menopause

Daily meditation isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s a powerful way to support the nervous system when hormones are fluctuating. Women in midlife often experience:

• Slower recovery from workouts
• Higher baseline stress
• Difficulty sleeping or night waking
• Increased anxiety
• Slower recovery from workouts

Practicing Peloton meditation daily can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and help regulate mood, giving your body the rest and recovery it needs to support training and everyday life.

Start With Peloton Programs

If decision fatigue is high, Peloton programs are the easiest way to get started. They provide built-in structure, so you don’t have to wonder what to do each day. Peloton gave its programs a major update in June 2025, which we break down in more detail here.

Programs to explore:

• 7 Days of Mindful Mornings
• 7 Days to Focus your Mind
• Introduction to Meditation
• Start your Meditation Practice- available in English, Spanish and German
• 7 Days to a Calmer You
• 7 Days to Better Sleep – available in English and Spanish

These programs are short and consistent—perfect for building a Peloton daily meditation habit that works even on low-energy days.

Explore Peloton Collections 

Peloton Collections are organized paths for your mental health, helping you find meditation classes that match your needs without endless scrolling.

Helpful collections for perimenopause and menopause include:

• Discover New Meditations
• Commuting Meditations
• Sleep Meditations
• Flow and Let Go
• Goodnight Peloton
• Collective Calm
• Walking Meditations

These Peloton meditation classes are designed to help with perimenopause stress relief, menopause anxiety support, and mindfulness for hormonal changes—without extra planning.

Use Filters to Find the Right Meditation for You

Filters are where Peloton becomes truly intuitive. Inside the meditation category, you can sort by:

• Length
• Instructor
• Class Type
• Class Language
• Subtitles
• Taken/Not Taken 

This customization makes it easy to build a Peloton daily meditation habit that fits your schedule and current mood.

Layer Individual Classes Into Your Routine

Once you’re familiar with the platform, you can combine individual classes with your existing workouts. Some ideas:

• A 5-minute meditation after strength training
• A body scan paired with evening stretching
• A sleep meditation as a nightly wind-down cue

For women in perimenopause and menopause, these practices support recovery, regulate stress hormones, and help maintain consistency in fitness and daily life. Start small. Stay consistent. Over time, this habit will improve stress resilience, sleep quality, and overall wellness.

Make Meditation Part of Your Daily Routine

Peloton meditation isn’t just about mindfulness—it’s a tool for navigating the unique challenges of perimenopause and menopause. By using Peloton programs, collections, and filters, you can make daily meditation simple, sustainable, and tailored to your body’s needs.

One often-overlooked feature? Peloton’s Daily Meditation. Instead of a new class every day, Peloton drops one Daily Meditation each week, designed to be repeated all week long. Same instructor, same theme—less decision fatigue, more consistency. You can easily find it using the Class Type filter in the Meditation section, making it simple to build a daily meditation habit without overthinking it. This is especially helpful when energy, focus, and stress levels can fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause.

Sometimes the most powerful features on Peloton aren’t new—they’re the ones you’ve been scrolling past all along.
