Peloton celebrated Diwali on November 8 with a new 20 min Diwali Pilates class taught by Aditi Shah, which is now available on demand.
Peloton announced the celebration in an Instagram story, describing Diwali as the Festival of Lights.
Aditi’s 20 min Diwali Pilates class was released on November 8, 2026 at 12:00am ET.
The class description reads:
“Join Aditi for a Diwali celebration. Flow through 20 minutes of Pilates designed to spark energy, joy, and light from within.”
During the class, Aditi explains what Diwali celebrates: “Light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” She notes that many different religions and cultures celebrate the holiday across South Asia.
She also shares how she grew up celebrating Diwali. Her mother would spend a day or two cooking a large dinner and filling the house with sweets. When Aditi lived in India, friends would join the family for dinner, including others whose families lived outside the country.
Aditi recalls going outside after dinner to set off fireworks with the neighborhood. Her favorite part was the joy her mother got from setting them off: “she just turns into a kid in the best way.”
The intermediate class includes hip bridges, toe taps, leg circles, crunches, and forearm side planks. Aditi uses a small ball, but shows options for taking the class without one. She also encourages members to take dance or karaoke breaks whenever they need.
Aditi has led Diwali classes since at least 2021, when her class featured a playlist co-curated with Tesher. During this year’s class, she also gives Tesher a shoutout as one of her early Diwali collaborators.
Last year’s Diwali announcement listed a 20 min Pilates class with Aditi Shah, a 15 min Row with Ash Pryor, and a 30 min Run with Marcel Dinkins. Aditi’s class last year had a playlist co-curated with Raveena.
