Yoga practices draw grace to you, 
like a lightening rod draws lightening.

An old soul is one who has already learned many lessons and
 is ready to look beyond  the events and activities of life  to find the meaning of life.         - Swami Nirmalananda
An old soul is pulled to the inner exploration in the many systems and traditions of which yoga is one.

May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.  - The Upanishads
