Bikram Yoga El Paseo

The Coachella Valley’s Original Hot Yoga Studio in the Heart of Palm Desert

Rooted in Healing

Powered by Community.

At Bikram Yoga El Paseo, we believe in the profound healing power of movement, breath, and consistent practice. More than just a hot yoga studio, we’re a sanctuary for transformation, connection, and growth, serving locals, snowbirds, and visitors drawn to the peaceful energy of the Coachella Valley.

A Student’s Studio with a Big Yogi Heart

For over 15 years, Bikram Yoga El Paseo has been the Coachella Valley’s original hot yoga studio, known as the Student’s Studio because it’s built around one thing: YOU. Our space is welcoming, inclusive, and rooted in community, where locals, visitors, and athletes come together to sweat, heal, and grow. Whether it’s your very first class or your hundredth, this is your home in the hot room.

Founded by Passion, Sustained by Gratitude

At Bikram Yoga El Paseo, we continue to evolve and grow, always finding new and meaningful ways to serve our community.

“We welcome everybody to Bikram Yoga El Paseo Palm Desert! Our small yoga studio with a big yogi heart.”
Ann Marie Palma, Owner

Known throughout the Coachella Valley as the Student’s Studio, our roots are built on passion and carried forward with gratitude. Every class, every student, and every drop of sweat adds to the vibrant energy that makes this studio so special.

A Clean & Healthy Practice Space

We care deeply about creating the best possible environment for your practice. That’s why we are the only yoga studio in the Coachella Valley with Lonseal Performa aseptic flooring.

Chemical-free, aseptic flooring (no carpet) — which means cleaner, fresher air quality in every class.
No harsh chemicals — safe, eco-conscious cleaning practices.
Pure breathing environment — especially important during standing and floor series.

Every detail of our space is designed to support your health and wellbeing.
