Born in Vienna, Austria, to artist Emil Jakob Schindler and his wife Anna von Bergen, in 1879, Alma grew up in a privileged environment. Her father's friends included Gustav Klimt, to whom she gave her "first kiss". After Schindler's death (1892), Anna married her late husband's former pupil Carl Moll. As a young woman Alma had a series of flirtations, including Klimt, director Max Burckhard and composer Alexander von Zemlinsky. On March 9, 1902 she married Gustav Mahler, who was twenty years her senior. With him, she had two daughters, Maria Anna (1902-1907), who died of scarlet fever or diphtheria, and Anna (1904-1988) who later became a sculptor. The terms of Alma's marriage with Mahler were that she would forgo her own artistic interests in painting and music. Resenting this, Alma began an affair with the Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius. Late in their marriage Mahler took an interest in Alma's compositions, but it was too late. Mahler had a single consultation with Dr. Sigmund Freud as to the causes for his unsatisfactory relationship.

When Mahler died in 1911, Alma married Gropius. The marriage was tumultuous. For two years, Alma had an affair with artist Oskar Kokoschka, who painted his Bride of the Wind to represent their love. Fearful of the passion he evoked in her, Alma left Kokoschka for novelist Franz Werfel, and even became pregnant - she thought by him - while still married to Gropius. After Alma's departure, Oskar Kokoschka ordered a custom life-size doll resembling her in details. Rumors say that he was seen at a local theater in Vienna holding the doll as his companion. She divorced Gropius and married Werfel in 1929, but the child, Martin Carl Johannes, was born prematurely and died aged ten months. Alma and Gropius's daughter, Manon (1916-1935), died of polio in 1935, aged eighteen. Composer Alban Berg wrote his Violin Concerto in memory of her.

In 1938 Alma and Werfel were forced to flee Austria for France to escape the Anschluss. With the German invasion and occupation of France during World War II, and the deportation of Jews to the Nazi death camps, she and her husband had to flee France. With the assistance of the American journalist Varian Fry in Marseille, they escaped the Nazi regime via a riveting journey across the Pyrenees to Spain and from there to Portugal and to New York City. Eventually they settled in Los Angeles, where Werfel achieved a measure of success when his The Song of Bernadette was made into a 1943 film starring Jennifer Jones. After Werfel's death in 1945, Alma moved back to New York where she was a major cultural figure until her death in 1964.

In 1996 Israeli writer Joshua Sobol and Austrian director Paulus Manker created the polydrama "Alma". It has been playing in Vienna for six successive seasons, and toured to Venice, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Petronell and Berlin - all places where Alma had lived. The scenes of Alma’s life were performed simultaneously on all floors and in all rooms of a special building. The guests were invited to abandon the immobilized position of a spectator in a conventional drama, replace it with the mobile activity of a traveller, and watch a "theatrical journey". They had to choose the events, the path, and the person to follow after each event, thus constructing her or his personal version of the "Polydrama".

A treatment of Alma's life is presented in the 2001 Bruce Beresford film Bride of the Wind; a one-woman play about her life with her first husband is Myself, Alma Mahler, by Martin Chervin.

In 1998 extracts from her diaries were published, covering the years from 1898 to 1902, up until the point she married Mahler.
