Why a Buddhist monk walked away… and became a Peloton superstar
John welcomes Sam Yo, former West End performer, Buddhist monk, and one of Peloton’s most respected instructors, for a conversation that cuts through the noise of modern life.
Before leading millions through sweat-soaked rides and motivational mantras, Sam spent years living in silence, discipline, and reflection inside a Buddhist monastery. In this episode, he breaks down how the monk’s mindset forged the calm, resilient presence that now defines his coaching and life philosophy.
If you’re searching for ways to improve mental health, develop discipline, increase resilience, or bring mindfulness into training and everyday life, this episode is for you. Sam delivers hard-earned wisdom from a life lived at both extremes, the silence of the monastery and the intensity of the modern world.
