Peloton is hosting a free book launch event for Sam Yo at Peloton Studios New York (PSNY) on Sunday, May 17, 2026 at 4:00pm ET. The event celebrates the release of Sam’s new book, The Monk’s Mindset: Finding Stillness in a World That Won’t Stop Moving, which officially hits shelves two days later on May 19.

When we previously covered Sam’s seven-city US book tour announcement, we noted that a PSNY event was likely given Peloton’s pattern of hosting in-studio celebrations for instructor book releases. That event has now been confirmed.
Peloton describes the event as:
“Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating Sam Yo and the release of The Monk’s Mindset — a powerful exploration of how ancient Buddhist wisdom can help us navigate modern life with greater calm, clarity, and purpose. The evening will feature a fireside chat with a special guest moderator, audience Q&A, light refreshments, and a selection of simple mindfulness practices guests can take home and incorporate into everyday life. Whether you are new to mindfulness or deepening an existing practice, this event offers an opportunity to reflect, recharge, and connect through conversation and community.”
The special guest moderator has not been announced yet.
You can RSVP for the event here. Unlike the main book tour stops, which require paid tickets at theaters and music halls across the country, this PSNY event is free to attend. However, this event does not include a copy of the book like the paid events do.
Note that this is separate from Sam’s other New York City tour stop, which is at Gramercy Theatre on May 30. The PSNY event falls between his tour kickoff at Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ on May 16 and the book’s official release on May 19.
The Monk’s Mindset draws on Sam’s experience as a former Buddhist monk, exploring themes of mindfulness, stillness, and finding balance. Sam first announced the book back in 2024, then shared the release date last fall. Earlier this year, he polled members on which cities they’d like him to visit before announcing the final seven-city lineup.
PSNY book launch events have become a staple for Peloton instructors, with Robin Arzón’s “Cooking with Robin” event for her Eat to Hustle cookbook taking place earlier this year.
Sam Yo’s new book is available to pre-order on Amazon (affiliate link) and other retailers. You can also find other books by Peloton instructors here.
