The Power of Support: Why Having Someone by Your Side Makes All the Difference

Writer's picture: Kimbrena BlairKimbrena Blair

Have you ever really wanted to do something new, but ended up not sticking with it because you didn't have support of friends or family? Have you ever tried something new with someone else and discovered it was a little easier than doing it alone?


Starting something new can be incredibly challenging, especially when it involves changes in our health and wellness routines. These are big, important changes that involves sacrifice and sometimes requires a big change in your habits and routines.

Whether it’s taking up a new practice like yoga, beginning a fitness journey, or committing to self-care, support from others can make these changes not only easier but also a lot more FUN.


Research has shown that having a support system can significantly impact our ability to stick with new habits and face challenges without giving up.

When we have someone by our side, we’re more likely to show up, stay accountable, and push through discomfort. Studies on behavior change suggest that social support reduces the feeling of isolation, boosts motivation, and increases our likelihood of long-term success.


At Empower Yoga Hartwell, we understand the power of community and connection. That’s why we’re excited to offer our BOGO new member special. When you purchase the special, you get to gift one to someone else—completely free. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague, having someone with you during those first steps can transform the experience.


Why support matters during big life changes:


  • Increased Motivation: We’re more likely to show up for others. Having a partner in your wellness journey gives you an extra reason to stay committed, even on days when you’re tempted to skip. When someone you want to see and support is taking a class, you're more likely to go even when you're not feeling it 100% - an important ability we must hone to consistently prioritize our health and wellness.

  • Shared Experiences: New experiences can feel overwhelming when done alone, but with a friend or loved one, those challenges become shared moments of growth. If you're like me and suffer from social anxiety, walking into a new place and introducing yourself and starting to talk and meet with new people in class can just be so intimidating. When you come with a friend, that sense of being on the spot can feel lighter, and you always have someone in your corner when you're feeling anxious.

  • Accountability: When someone is there to cheer you on and keep you accountable, it’s easier to stay focused on your goals. Sometimes it can feel easier to show up for someone else, rather than ourself. So when you know that your friend's wellness journey can be affected by your own actions, it's easier to show up every day.

  • Emotional Connection: Life changes often stir up emotions—some expected, some not. Having a support system means you don’t have to face those emotions alone.


We designed this special offer to encourage you to embark on your wellness journey with the people who matter most. It’s more than just a class—it’s an opportunity to strengthen your connections, build lasting habits, and create a support system that keeps you moving forward.


Take advantage of our BOGO new member special today, and let’s start this journey together—because growth, wellness, and transformation are better when shared.


Stay strong,

Stay empowered.
