Sam Yo Breathwrk: 2 New Classes Worth Waking Up For

The Peloton instructor brings Daily Wake Up and Daily Wind Down to the Breathwrk app — right as his new book hits shelves.

Sam Yo Breathwrk content is now live, and the Peloton instructor is making a compelling case for bookending your day with intentional breathing. Two new classes are available now in the Breathwrk app: a morning session built to sharpen focus and build energy, and an evening session designed to help you release tension and prepare for sleep. Both run five minutes and sit under the Daily category in the app.

What the 2 Sam Yo Breathwrk Classes Cover

Daily Wake Up is a guided breathwork practice focused on boosting energy and sharpening focus. Intentional breathing helps clear the mind and bring fresh energy to the start of your day. It is tagged under Energy and Daily in the app.

Daily Wind Down takes the opposite approach. This calming session uses gentle breathing patterns to release tension, steady the breath, and bring the body and mind back to a relaxed state before sleep. It is tagged under Sleep and Daily.

Taken together, these two Sam Yo Breathwrk sessions function as a simple daily framework: one to open the day with intention, one to close it with calm. The five-minute length is deliberate. These classes are built to fit into the transitions of a day rather than demand time away from it.

Perfect Timing: Sam Yo and The Monk's Mindset

The arrival of these Peloton breathwork classes lines up with a significant moment in Sam Yo's career beyond the platform. His debut book, The Monk's Mindset: Finding Stillness in a World That Won't Stop Moving, released in May 2026. The Clip Out covered his US book tour and the Peloton Studios New York fireside chat that accompanied the launch.

The book and the Breathwrk classes are drawing from the same well. The Monk's Mindset is rooted in the same principles Sam Yo has brought to his meditation, yoga, and mindfulness content on Peloton for years: intentional presence, breathing as a tool for regulation, and the value of small daily practices. The Breathwrk classes put that philosophy into a five-minute format members can use every single day.

Why Sam Yo Is a Natural Fit for Peloton Breathwork Classes

With 20 years in entertainment and 15 years in fitness, Sam Yo has built a Peloton career grounded in motivation, performance, and the connection between mental focus and physical output, teaching live from the London studio. That background in helping members find the mental edge in their training is exactly what the Breathwrk format is built to carry. He is not the only Peloton instructor building content there. Chelsea Jackson Roberts launched a 7-day breathwork program on the platform earlier this year, part of a broader expansion that now allows instructors to create and publish their own classes directly on the app. For more on that announcement, see Peloton Breathwrk Is Getting Instructor-Created Content.

The broader numbers tell the story. As of Peloton's Q3 FY2026 earnings call, the platform includes 140 instructor-led Breathwrk classes. CEO Peter Stern named recovery, sleep, and mental wellbeing as core areas for future growth, placing Breathwrk at the center of a wellness strategy that extends well beyond structured workouts. The full breakdown is in Peloton Wellness Platform Expands Breathwrk.

These Peloton breathwork classes count toward Peloton streaks, milestones, and workout history. Sam Yo's Daily Wake Up and Daily Wind Down fit directly into how members already track their activity, with no separate logging required.
