Fred Astaire Madison West Offers Yoga with Puppies Flow Class and Mimosas

Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Madison West is hosting a community “Yoga with Puppies” session scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, promoted as a one-hour class combining a 40-minute flow with a 20-minute chill period and bottomless mimosas while puppies roam the studio. “This 60-minute journey includes a 40-minute flow yoga class followed by a 20-minute chill period with bottomless mimosas, all while a litter of adorable puppies roams the studio for cuddles and playtime,” the Eventbrite listing states.

Local listings point to a morning slot: VisitMadison lists the offering among “some of this year’s Yoga with Puppies classes, held at Fred Astaire Dance Studio – Madison West!” and notes these “one-hour sessions are ... held on selected Saturdats at 10 AM.” NewsBreak also posted an event page for the Feb. 28 session within the last week, and an Instagram promotion calls it “Top-Rated Puppy Yoga in Madison WI” while advertising upcoming Madison dates on March 14 and March 28 and credits “Photo by @yoga_with_puppies_ in Fred Astaire Dance.”

There is a direct timing and location discrepancy in the promotional materials. A Puppies-yoga branded page describes a different format as a “75-Minute Puppy Adventure” with “45 minutes of all-level yoga followed by 30 minutes of cuddles and fun with the puppies,” and lists the class address as 1245 Main St. Bridgeport CT 06604. The Madison-specific Eventbrite and VisitMadison listings consistently tie the Feb. 28 session to Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Madison West and the 60-minute, 40/20 split; the Puppies-yoga page appears to describe a separate franchise or city event.

Puppy sourcing and adoption language also varies across listings. Eventbrite says, “The puppies who join us come from various local rescues and ethical family breeders.” VisitMadison adds a concrete adoption angle: “Bonus: The puppies will all be available for adoption! You might even meet your new furry best friend!” Puppies-yoga further specifies that its puppies are “between 8 and 12 weeks old,” but that age range is not stated in the Madison listings provided.

Ticket and house rules are explicit in some listings and absent in others. Eventbrite warns, “Due to limited spots, all ticket sales are final, non-refundable and non-transferrable.” The Puppies-yoga page lists operational rules not shown on the Madison listings: “Arrive 15 minutes early for a seamless start. Entry is not allowed 20 minutes after the session begins,” plus safety disclaimers and requirements: “Note that participating in a class with puppies carries risks like scratches or bites. Since puppy wellness is our first priority, interaction with the puppies is not guaranteed. All participants must sign a waiver before joining the session. Children must be 10 years old minimum.”

Marketing tone is enthusiastic across the board; VisitMadison asks, “YOGA & PUPPIES?! WHAT COULD BE BETTER THEN THAT!” and Eventbrite repeats the upbeat invite: “We are so excited to invite you to our Yoga with Puppies event held at Fred Astaire Dance Studio - Madison West!” As the listings stand, Madison promotions point to a one-hour, 40/20 flow-plus-mimosas format with puppies sourced from local rescues and breeders and an adoption opportunity; separate Puppies-yoga materials name different timings, waiver rules, puppy ages and a Bridgeport address that organizers should clarify.
