THAT’S Y ME is the pause in the race of society.
We want to stop the incessant rhythm of life so that you can connect with your slow inner world: a world of serenity, stillness, acceptance and joy.
This world is BIG and waiting for you. Is the space in between where you can grow and cry, be silly and laugh. Where you can take your sweet time existing!
But, this is a step YOU will have to take. No one can convince you YOU ARE WORTHY and no one can FIND YOU but yourself.
We are here to guide you to yourself, to choose yourself, to love yourself. We are here to hear you say: THAT’S Y ME
Our mission is to inspire you to reconnect with your true self, to open your eyes to the universe within YOU.
Hi, I am Marta
– without an „h” and
the founder of That`s Y. me.
We combine yoga, surfing,
and healthy eating for
a holistic experience
resetting your body
and mind.
The Yoga & Surf Frequency creates a beautiful story that unifies the healing powers of water, the grounding power of food and the transformative power of yoga.
Dear human,
Welcome to THAT’S Y ME.
THAT’S Y ME is a project coming straight out of my heart. When I first arrived in Sintra, on April 30th 2023, I spent the first few days on the beautiful cliffs and beaches of Sintra. Here, my heart slowed down and the world around me suspended into a magical moment. I connected with nature, the ocean, the trees, the smell in the air and I found a way to my purpose. Sintra helped me to connect with the heart of THAT’S Y ME and transform my feelings into a vision. The idea slipped out of my mouth after a beautiful surf day during a sandy conversation with my friends: “I would like to have a retreat here next year”.
THAT’S Y ME is a project that will only grow. With the purpose of creating meaningful life experiences for the soul and body it will operate across the world, with a wide variety of retreats, yoga classes, coaching sessions, workshops and trainings.
Lets celebrate joy, courage and kindness, and create experiences together that leaves lasting sparkles and an imprint on our hearts.
With love,
Marta
MARTA, in her own words
Let’s start with the “hard facts”: I am an experienced yoga instructor with 400 hours recognized by Yoga Alliance. Currently finishing my Yoga Nidra Teacher Training with another 200 h and going into Yoga Therapy with additional 500 more hours of learning and more additional teacher learning is planned. I practice and teach Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga including Restorative and Yin Yoga inspired by the rhythm of the ocean.
I am in love and much in tune with the elements of nature which would describe my personality for a start. In the dance of life, where the rhythm of breath meets the waves of the ocean, my journey into the world of yoga began as an exploration of self-discovery and connection, which started over 10 years ago. My purpose is to ingrain my passion and positivity to life into my yoga practice fostering a supportive environment for yoga, encouraging a non -judgmental atmosphere, and combining the elements of the ocean into my yoga practice.
The love of the ocean and surfing, mirrors the therapeutic aspects of water and the healing “Seasound”, I like to call it, that is engraved in the concept of That`s Y.me.
Surfing helps to deepen my meditation routine and lighten my movements in my daily yoga practice. The transformative and healing power of the waves, the ocean, the sound and being connected to the element, igniting the flames of vitality and life. I believe the ocean is the reflection of our soul.
But never forget the most important aspect:
ANNASOLE, in her own words
Sole is my nickname and the name of my soul, a cheerful and lively girl who is deeply passionate about nature, food, cooking, and the joy of being surrounded by people with whom I can share my thoughts and experiences. My mission in life is to help people to be in connection with the body, sharing the knowledge of how to nurture oneself with the right energy and how to have a balanced life.
I am passionate about empowerment. My method is to teach the nutritional scientific aspects of food and the mental and spiritual well-being, focusing on anti-inflammatory and Ayurvedic diets. Reducing inflammation in the body by incorporating nutrient-dense foods and avoiding inflammatory triggers. Additionally, I incorporate principles of Ayurveda, an ancient Indian holistic healing system, to help restore balance and harmony in one’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Nourishing our bodies with wholesome, nutritious food is the key to leading a balanced and fulfilling life. I am guiding and coaching you with my high knowledge and supportive motivation to stay strong and find your balance. Introducing you through my creative cooking to healthy meals. It is fulfilling, the smiles on people’s faces as they enjoy the meals I have prepared with care and passion.
If you appreciate the power of the food, loves trying new recipes, and shares a common passion for nutrition, you have come to the right place.
Join me on this journey of embracing a life filled with positivity and vitality. Let us inspire each other to live our best lives, nurturing our minds, bodies, and souls.

The Yoga and Surf Frequency is the concept that guides all of our retreats. AT THE CENTER IS WATER. The movement of the waves, the music of the wind and the powerful breath of the sea.
Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, called the Keeper of the Sea, shared that „being near water allows one to access a semi-meditative state known as „drifting”. Drifting is a special form of attention where we are engaged with the world around us but not focused on getting something done.” (Blue Mind, 2014). By being near water we slow down and we pause, we can find stillness and embrace the silence we like to ignore so much. We connect to the sounds and smells, the movement, the light, and for a moment we can only exist.
We combine Yoga, Surf and Ayurvedic nutrition to create fluid and expansive experiences to promote healing and self-love. We want to create a space where you will find your inner voice, a space you will leave feeling full, calm and powerful.
The SeaSound is calling YOU to dive deep into yourself. Join us in our beautiful salty experiences!
Life`s a wave, catch it.
Surfing is a way to feel free.
SeaSound. Love. Surf.
Dance. Move
And Laugh with us!
