Yoga, Breath Work, and Jiu Jitsu Changed My Life. 
​
In that exact order.

WTF Empire is built by me, Adriane, from years of fcked up experiences from abusive relationships, being assaulted in foreign countries, losing my mom, having no community, and continually giving people more than I had available because of some deranged need to be loved by people that, in healthy circumstances, I would not have given a flying fck about.
At some point I had to recognize my part in all the dangerous chaos. And then I had to change it.

 
Reckoning with oneself will not feel great, it will be a lonely and dark space. This is why it is so important to have be surrounded by a community of people who inspire you to be the stronger, better version of yourself. Whether you are local to Colorado or somewhere across the world I will help you navigate the murky waters of change. We will incorporate tools like breath work, yoga, jiu jitsu, self defense and of course, HUMOR, to start building the life we want. 

It is easy to externalize our frustrations onto others when we are unhappy. But the truth of the matter remains, if you are unhappy (or happy) with your life circumstances you have to take accountability for being there. 
(Please know that this applies mainly to ending up in failed relationships of any kind, failed jobs, failed blah blah blah and not being a victim to someone else's decisions. Do not get all woke on me and start preaching about people in other countries and their circumstances).

If you are here today, you ARE ready for some kind of change and even though it can be scary remember the old quote "Nothing worth doing is ever easy". Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might've. There is no commitment to just chatting about things and seeing if it feels right for you. 

TESTIMONIALS

"Adriane and her yoga philosophy will improve your life; plain and simple." ~ Chris 
"I have used Adriane and her WTF program privately and also referred her too many others. While there is nothing wrong with the pseudo spiritualist yoga that many incorporate into their routines as a fighter or athlete, this is not that. WTF in my opinion uses the postures of yoga with an understanding of of inner connectedness of the bodies muscles, ligaments, and tendons usually reserved for Osteopaths. Adriane's understandings of the power of breath is extremely useful. A calming and sure voice lets you know she knows exactly what the problem is, and how to fix it. I highly recommend her program to any and all looking for that extra edge in recovery. " ~ Eric Uresk
"I’ve used Adrian as a Yoga instructor at my fitness escape for almost a year and she has been fantastic. Her unique, therapeutic style sets her apart from other practitioners and my clients have all benefited greatly. So much so that many chose conduct private sessions with her outside of their program and continue to work with her on her online program to continue the progress they have made. Highly recommended" ~ Rob, Revival Escapes 

Working with Adriane has changed my overall perception of my body and its ability to show up in ways of strength, curiosity, and self-compassion. I have witnessed growth in my ability to push myself past my threshold and to get curious about what my mental chatter is telling me. Coach Adriane always meets me where I am with inquiry and invites me to go a little further into my process internally before guiding me further into my physical capabilities. She doesn’t let me quit and has offered such deep insight into my progress over the last several years. She has helped me reach my personal goal of being strong in my body as I age, what a gift. I would recommend her to any age group of women from our youngest to our eldest as she is a great asset to the empowerment of women in this community! Bianca
"As a grappler/ bjj practioner, I'm constantly trying to find effective ways to repair the wear and tear that intense training puts on the body. Adriane's attention to these requirements and her experience have really helped me, not only to recover, but improve my overall training by focusing on specific problem areas I have. Cannot recommend highly enough for grapplers looking to incorporate some restorative/ corrective yoga into their routine or anyone looking for something less physically demanding than other types of yoga to aid recovery." ~ Jahred Dell 

As a survivor of domestic abuse Coach Adriane’s class has changed the way that I view martial arts and community. You've provided an empowering platform for not only mothers who want to learn how to be badasses, but also women like me who (although also mothers) have felt a lack of community and confidence in training. Coach Adriane single handedly provided me an opportunity to feel safe and powerful within myself and the class. Jiu-jitsu fundamentally changes you, but the community you helped develop behind it, has been everything. Hearing women empower women and cheer each other on as we learn how to struggle through learning how to defend and attack has been such a satisfying journey and I don't think I had ever felt powerful before this. I look forward to coming to class each week and wish there was a second one so I could continue to grow and learn and be with my people. When I look in the mirror, I'm no longer afraid of if the person looking back at me is capable.  Jamie
"Adriane has given me incredible breathwork and self-regulation tools not just for my physical body but my mental and emotional spaces too over the years. On top of that, she has this incredible ability to provide a warm and conducive space for someone as nuts as I am to feel safe, supported, and above all, hopeful in my healing and reclaiming my body to overcome pain and stress. She's just an awesome human being who genuinely gives a f*ck about you. Learn from of WTF Yoga, it's one of the best things you could do for yourself." ~ Azima 
Coach Adriane  is such an inspiration on and off the mats she has really helped me have a voice and use my words instead of just always agreeing or doing something that puts me in a tough situation. As a sport dominant with men, it is necessary to know your limits and to be able to say no. Coach Adriane has been able to help me learn those limits and stand up for myself as I grow my limits with new technique that contours for women specifically! Amy
