Being touched strongly determines our self-esteem. Being touched in a loving and respectful way is reassuring and pleasant. And it is a source of renewed vitality.<\/p>\n<h2>Massage<\/h2>\n<p>Massage helps to relax, to find our way back to our own body and centre. It provides us with the feeling of being one harmonious entity.<br \/>\nMassage is akin to meditation, as it invites you to come home to yourself. You become aware of the balance between body and mind.<br \/>\nOur modern lifestyle sometimes makes us forget the good feeling of living in a body. A body that can breathe freely, stand strongly and move freely.<br \/>\nMassage helps to release tension and restore balance. To find harmony within ourselves, between ourselves and others and our living environment.<br \/>\nThere are relaxation massages and therapeutic massages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293.jpg\" alt=\"Photo series of the massage room at Yoga Kitchen\" width=\"1200\" height=\"293\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293-300x73.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293-768x188.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yogakitchen.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Massagestudio_01_1200_293-1024x250.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The massages at Yoga Kitchen<\/h2>\n<p><strong>For your information: The massage activities offered by Yoga Kitchen will be discontinued as of 1 January 2026.
