Middleton lists Saturday puppy yoga at Hidden Cave Cidery
Hidden Cave Cidery’s second-Saturday puppy yoga paired a slow flow, adoptable foster dogs and a post-class cider break in Middleton.
Hidden Cave Cidery has turned puppy yoga into a recurring Saturday-morning outing in Middleton, with the July 11 session running from 11 a.m. to noon as part of a monthly second-Saturday series. The class cost $40 per person, was limited to guests 21 and older, and asked attendees to bring a mat or towel.
Rachel Gunder led the slow flow, and the listing identified her as an RYT-200 and a registered yoga teacher who specializes in trauma-informed teaching and somatic embodiment. Hidden Cave Cidery said no yoga or puppy experience was needed, which made the format easy to approach for first-timers as well as regulars looking for a less formal community class.
The puppies and dogs in the room came through Puppers to Love Rescue, a volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit in southern Wisconsin that does not have a shelter or public facility. The rescue says its work centers on fostering, rehabilitating and placing dogs in loving homes, and the animals at class were adoptable at the time of the event. That made the session more than a novelty workout: it gave a foster-based rescue a direct way to put dogs in front of a new audience.
The setting fit the format. Hidden Cave Cidery describes its tasting room as dog friendly and says it has a patio, details that help explain why the venue works for an animal-centered gathering. The business, founded by Walker Fanning, a UW-Madison alum, was established in 2018 and makes cider from Wisconsin apples and other specialty ingredients, adding a distinctly local layer to the event.
After class, guests could stay for a cider or a non-alcoholic drink, learn more about the rescue, talk through adoption and ask about Gunder’s other yoga offerings. The listing also offered an email sign-up for the next class, reinforcing the monthly cadence behind the event. For anyone looking for puppy yoga in Middleton, the appeal was not just one Saturday morning, but a standing second-Saturday slot built around adoptable dogs, a social post-class hangout and a predictable return date.
