Bikram Hot Yoga - Riverdale Park

Overview

Bikram Yoga Works, in partnership with DRIP’T Studios and Dript Longevity, is a premier wellness destination focused on hot yoga, transformative stretching therapies, and holistic health experiences. While not a traditional sauna facility, it emphasizes heated environments through Bikram Yoga’s signature 105°F hot rooms, which mimic sauna-like sweating and detoxification, complemented by DRIP’T’s innovative lounge and clinic services for performance optimization, longevity, and recovery. The overall atmosphere is communal, empowering, and rejuvenating, fostering physical transformation, mental clarity, and social connection through challenging classes, workshops, and events. Visitors describe it as a space to “change your body, change your mind, change your life,” with a vibrant, inclusive vibe blending discipline, breathwork, and celebration.
