Knowing how to listen is wise: lessons that an eight-year-old girl gave meBy Fabby SerranoThe previous video was not only a beautiful moment recorded with intention... it was also the spark that lit this article.I'm completely in love with this road I'm traveling.And I'm serious: I'm very serious about what I'm doing right now.I'm passionate. It transforms me. It roots me.And above all... it reminds me of who I am.Three weeks ago I started teaching a specific yoga posture to a girl who has just turned eight. A sweet, curious girl with a light that expands in silence. At first, as is natural, it was difficult for him to find balance, connect with his breathing, understand his body. But what has surprised me the most has not been his flexibility or his strength, but something much deeper: his ability to listen.Yes... listen.Not only to me as a guide, but also to his own body, to his internal pauses, to his breathing.To that sacred silence where everything lives.And it was there that I remembered one of my favorite phrases, the one I constantly repeat in my yoga and mindfulness classes:"Knowing how to listen is wise."But it's not just about listening to the other. It's about really listening.To listen with the body, with the soul, with the eyes closed and the heart open.To stop the outside noise to hear what we carry inside.Seeing this girl listening to me so carefully, seeing how she applied with sweetness what I taught her, how she corrected her posture from the connection, made me reflect on something profound: children can also be our teachers.Because when someone, at any age, decides to listen with presence, the transformation happens.And not only in it.Also in me.This process has brought me back to my center. It has reaffirmed to me that this work I do is not a fashion or a hobby. It is a commitment to consciousness, to the body, to the soul.I'm taking it seriously. Very seriously.Because I love what I do.And because when a life changes, we all change with it.Thank you, little teacher, for showing me once again that wisdom does not always come from the years... but from the silence and presence with which we choose to live.
