FOUNDER

Hello!

I’m Marta Metrass - mother of four, teacher, and the heart behind The Yoga of Emotions®.

I'm a Master in Dance by the Portuguese Human Kinetics University, a E-RYT 500h and YACEP certified teacher with Yoga Alliance.

I didn’t come to yoga looking for a career - I came looking for myself

The Awakening

After years working in a fast-paced creative industry, I found myself disconnected and living a version of life that didn’t feel true. Yoga became my refuge - a quiet space where my body could soften and my heart could finally speak.

And when I listened, everything changed.

I left behind the life I had built and stepped into another - one rooted in presence, freedom, and inner truth. I quit my job, sold almost everything, and moved to Thailand with my husband, our four-year-old son, and three bags. No house, no job, no plans - just the courage to choose truth over comfort, and possibility over predictability.

Since then, I’ve walked a path of continuous study and devotion - deepening into advanced yoga practices, somatic healing, emotional embodiment, trauma-informed Yin, Chakra Yoga & Ayurveda, Dance Therapy, Bhakti, Ancient Rituals, Sound Healing, Cacao, Mantra, Harmonium and the Feminine Body’s Wisdom.

My teaching is shaped not only by these studies, but by life itself - motherhood, transitions, vulnerability, grief, rebirth… and the wisdom that grows only through lived experience.

Yoga of Emotions® Method

From my path of study and living experience in Yoga, emotional awareness, self-development and life itself, the Yoga of Emotions® was born - a method that honors yoga not only as movement, but as a container for emotional expression, inner listening, and real transformation.

It invites us to meet ourselves with honesty, presence, and compassion - not to perform, but to feel. Not to achieve, but to awaken. Not to resist, but to surrender.

In this practice, the body becomes the guide, the breath becomes the bridge, and emotion becomes the teacher.

15 Years of Journey

This path has led me across continents.

For seven of those years, I lived and taught in Bali, where I opened The Temple of Emotions - a space devoted to healing, expression, and embodied truth. Eventually, life brought me back to Thailand - the place where my journey first began, and the place my family and I now call home.

Today, I continue to share this work through retreats, workshops, 1:1 mentoring, and Yoga Teacher Trainings across Europe and Asia - as well as online offerings that connect students and communities around the world.

My work is an invitation to return to your body - to feel rather than perform, to listen rather than rush, and to live from a place of softness, honesty, and presence.

My intention is clear:

" To guide you home to your body, your breath, your emotions, and the wisdom that lives within. "
