About us

A small studio, run by its founder

Maren Alder opened Alder in 2016 with six reformers on 12th Avenue South. She still teaches twelve classes a week, and every teacher here trained with her before teaching on their own.

“Small classes are the whole point. If I can’t see your feet, the class is too big.”
