The ALTER Together Digital Studio is a sanctuary of movement, meditation, mentorship, leadership training, and heartward community with Nicole Meline. Spirited movement practices including music-driven indoor cycling, yoga inspired mat practice, strength and endurance training celebrating all body types & abilities.

ALTER Indoor cycling is a rhythm-driven journey to build grit and soul.

The ALTER Practice is a blend of yoga, cardio HIIT and strength training, pilates and barre sculpting, ecstatic dance, and meditation.

Let's gather to deepen your practice, fill your mindfulness toolbox, sweat, breathe, and explore delicious mind-body connections.

All ALTER practices draw from Nicole's decades of teaching experience and 20+ years of practice and training as a yogi, founding Peloton master instructor, Ironman triathlete, poet, and speaker.
