Carina Thoms brings yoga to an empty riverside shop

LALOU in Siegen is preparing a ground-floor studio opening for November 21 and 22, after growing from a smaller teaching room.

A vacant shop beside the Sieg is becoming the next home for LALOU. Owner and yoga teacher Carina Thoms is preparing to open the ground-floor studio in central Siegen on November 21 and 22.

A gradual move into a public space

The studio’s own account traces its beginnings to Coachingatelier Siegen, small classes and regular students. It describes a gradual collection of teaching work and collaborations before the opportunity to use an empty shop brought those strands together.

A November 13 Westfalenpost profile adds a change in working life: its publicly accessible introduction reports that Thoms has become self-employed after fourteen years as a schoolteacher. The fuller article is behind a subscription, so it cannot support further details here about her departure or finances.

LALOU lists Thoms alongside a yoga teacher, a breathwork coach and a sound educator. The existing classes continue in the smaller second-floor room through November 20, according to the official opening notice.

The change is therefore both a new address within the building and a more visible place for an established practice. The opening weekend is still ahead. Its announced dates should be distinguished from an account of people already gathering in the new room.
