I absolutely love Empower Yoga! Kimbrena, the studio owner and head instructor, is truly amazing — always so friendly, kind, and incredibly encouraging. Her energy is uplifting, and she creates a space that feels welcoming, empowering, and safe for all levels of practice.

Each class feels thoughtfully curated, and whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, Kimbrena meets you where you are and helps you grow. The atmosphere in the studio is peaceful yet motivating, and there’s a real sense of community among everyone who practices here. Kimbrena has worked hard to create an inclusive and safe environment following a health at every size (HAES) approach and being inclusive of all gender expressions and identities.

Empower Yoga has become one of my happy places — I leave every session feeling stronger, more centered, and truly cared for. If you’re thinking about trying yoga or looking for a new studio to call home, this is the one.

The classes are fun and challenging. The instructors have been very welcoming, clear in directions giving beginner to advanced options. I would encourage others to try a few classes.

I've been told for a few years to go to Empower Yoga. Now I wish I had listened a lot sooner. I tried out the Slow Flow Yoga and am excited to keep going back. I am already sleeping better and not having the constant tension in my neck and shoulders return (8 days and 3 classes) is amazing! I am brand new to yoga so was a little nervous but Kim and Amanda helped me feel comfortable in my own skin and listen to my body and do what felt right for me.
Don't wait! Get started now. There's a class for everyone.

Having moved here from Atlanta, I was worried I would not find the level of exercise and meditation options I was used to enjoying. What a joy to have Empower Yoga in Hartwell! Kimi has arranged a great variety of classes - yoga (beginner, hot, gentle, challenging), sculpt, barre-lattes, and even dance/movement as mettaphor! Each instructor brings their own spin to their class but they all are highly capable, energizing, and care deeply about class participants. We are so lucky to have Empower Yoga here!

I love the care that Kimbrena and the other instructors take with their students. They are always so warm and friendly! They work with all levels of students and really make the practice ‘an experience’ where the outside world just falls away. Whether it’s a pop-in Saturday flow or a full membership, I highly recommend trying out their classes. I absolutely love the hot yoga classes, perfect for stretching out any sore muscles.

I been working with Kimmy since she started teaching and as she started started her own studio. Kimmy is very professional in her approach to new students and with older clients. She started a chair yoga for individuals who has balance issues. If you want to stop the aging process and feel years younger for a small investment Kimmy is the person for you

Taking yoga classes has become an essential part of my life. I enjoy and benefit from each session whether it's gentle or intense. I have gained strength and endurance which enables me to play golf and travel into my 70s.

I went to my first class with Empower Yoga and loved it. I did the outdoor one at the Botanical Garden in Hartwell and that was amazing. Kimbrena was an excellent teacher with just the right amount of flow and strength building in the gentle class. Well attended and good energy! Looking forward to attending more!

Kimbrena is amazing! Kimbrena taught a private class in the botanical gardens for my friend's bachelorette party and it was WONDERFUL! She checked in with me about what kind of yoga would be best for the group and even provided mats! The botanical gardens were beautiful and it was a great setting for morning yoga. Such a highlight of the bachelorette trip - I'd come to Kimbrena's yoga class every week if I lived in Hartwell!
