Peloton Partners With Celebrated Yoga Instructor Colleen Saidman Yee

"Peloton is thrilled to collaborate with Colleen Saidman Yee, dubbed the 'First Lady of Yoga,' to launch this new video content to our members," said John Foley, co-founder and chief executive officer, Peloton. "Colleen's values and philosophies are closely aligned with that of our company. We are collectively passionate about fitness as a motivating and empowering experience for all."

"Peloton has re-energized the concept of at-home fitness and brought together an avid, engaged community of riders," said Colleen Saidman Yee. "I'm excited to teach yoga to Peloton's extensive member community nationwide and ultimately help people better connect with their bodies."

Peloton launched Beyond the Ride in 2015 as a way for members to complement their on-bike workouts with exercise and stretching routines targeted to all areas of the body. The new yoga series includes a range of practices from beginner to advanced levels, and is meant to both accompany the bike workouts and offer standalone routines for Peloton's home bike owners and app users.
