Feeling overwhelmed lately? Struggling to find balance in a busy life? Peloton meditation classes could be the reset you need and what better time to try it out than during May, which is Mental Health Awareness month. As a Peloton member, you’re in luck! Their large meditation library is a hidden gem that can help you center your mind and elevate your mental health.

Here’s a breakdown of how meditation benefits your mental health, what Peloton offers, and which instructors or classes might be your perfect match.

Why Meditation Matters for Mental Health 

We’ve all been there—that awful frazzled feeling where your mind just can’t shut off or the negative voice in your head is screaming at you to do more. Meditation is like a pause button for your brain. Research consistently shows that meditation can reduce stress, improve focus, boost emotional resilience, lift your mood and even help with sleep.

At Peloton, meditation is so much more than sitting still. With classes designed to fit into busy schedules, its guided meditations meet you where you are, whether it’s 5 minutes of calm or a deeper 20-minute session for deep relaxation. And the best part? You can do it anywhere—from your quiet living room to your favorite sunny spot in the park.

Types of Peloton Meditation Classes 

Peloton understands that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why they offer a variety of meditation classes tailored to your needs. Here are some popular class types:

Morning Meditation

Want to start the day on a positive note? Perhaps set your intentions for the day? Maybe you just need some quiet time before the hustle and bustle begins. These are a great way to get off on the right foot.

Sleep Meditation 

Tossing and turning? Mind all over the place? Peloton’s sleep meditations are designed to relax your body and mind before bedtime, paving the way for a restorative night’s sleep. They range from 5 – 30 minutes and can help even the most anxious person settle in and let go.

Kindness or Witness

These meditations are designed for self care. If you are struggling with being kind to yourself or you need to leave room for bearing witness to experiences, yours or someone else’s, these offer fantastic cues to begin the healing.

Gratitude and Reflection 

Sometimes, all you need is a moment to recognize the good things in life. Gratitude meditations leave you feeling refreshed, grounded and appreciative of all that you have in your life..

Body Scans 

These are perfect for the meditator that wants to “do” something during a session and there will be direction throughout in terms of what part of your body is getting the attention. These are ideal for winding down after an intense workout and can help you notice tension in your body and release it fully.

Deep Relaxation

These are intended to be done lying down and are designed to reset the nervous system, release stress and help you recharge. These can join the sleep meditations as a perfect wind down at the end of a long day.

As always, Peloton provides new and interesting meditation releases throughout the year, highlighting special months of celebration, guest appearances or new age/classical music showcases. Keep your eyes on The Clip Out for announcements of the upcoming events.

Ross may be gone from Peloton, but his meditations live on and are consistently highlighted as member favorites. Some of you have done his sleep meditations hundreds (if not thousands!) of times. He makes meditation relatable and fun, proving that mindfulness doesn’t need to be intimidating or overly serious. His breathwork and body scan meditations are ideal to help us to turn inward and stay in the moment.

Denis Morton

Peloton recently announced that Denis would be re-joining the Peloton meditation team and he is sprinkling in some new content that beautifully matches the low key, mellow vibe in his bike and yoga classes. He will offer suggestions, while we make decisions – perfect advice when it comes to meditation.
