PETITS PAS, A NEW YOGA AND DANCE STUDIO IN SAN FRANCISCO
[Interview] Petits Pas is a new yoga and dance studio for kids and adults opening in San Francisco. We met Virginie, the young French woman behind the project. Here is the story of our encounter.
WHO'S VIRGINIE?
As we already mentioned it, Virginie is French but this is not the most relevent aspect of her portrait. She arrived in San Francisco barely a year ago and settled down with her family.
What is really noteworthy is her path, personal, academic and professional as well. When you listen to her, you feel like she already lived a couple of lives. She started with an engeneering degree and went on studying medicine. Beforehand and also during that busy and studious hard-working time, she managed to graduate from Ballet Conservatory and then started a professional carreer as a dancer. We told you her energy and dynamism were amazing!
For her medical career, Virginie worked in research, she also taught at university, and practiced as a pediatrician, especially focusing on the mother/child relationship.
And when she finally landed in San Francisco, Virginie got her yoga teacher certification at Next Generation Yoga ® to complete her awesome resume, add a new expertise to her profile and be able to achieve her project.
What a nice and intense story for this young woman in her early thirties who is launching Petits Pas, like the logical and consistent sequel of her life adventure.

5 THINGS VIRGINIE LOVED RIGHT AWAY
IN SAN FRANCISCO
We asked Virginie to share with s some addresses and locations she really fell for... Here is what she told us.
Paxton Gate's Curiosities for kids. For her and her kids.
A french restaurant of course : le P'tit Laurent in Glen Park
Un point of view, the gorgeous one we get from the Walter Haas playground.
The California Academy of Sciences in the Golden Gate Park. Leaves you in constant awe.
SF Ballet... definitively!
We totally agree with Virginie. Paxton Gate is a must see on Valencia.
We will have to go and take a picture at Walter Hass to add it to our existing 8 playgrounds selection in San Francisco.
And Le P'tit Laurent is already part of our French Restaurants addresses in San Francisco. It does offer this warm and friendly experience that is typical at French bistros and then contribute to the great spirit of the neighborhood.
