On Saturday 1st July 2006, Karmatime introduced Larkin - the Scarecrow who loves yoga, at the Thornton Hough Scarecrow Festival. Larkin is an eccentric, playful character who, instead of scaring birds, uses his yoga magic to solve problems on the farm. He stretches his body and mind into different shapes and finds that amazing things happen.

Children at the Festival enjoyed taking part in a yoga adventure which ended with a dreamy 'eyes closed story'. Larkin even won an award for being the best stall scarecrow on festival day! He was very proud, even though his makers had rather over-stuffed him!

The children also took part in Larkin's Challenge. By standing for 15 seconds in tree pose, they won their own Magical Yoga Game! Download your copy of the Yoga Game now and see if you can stand like Larkin. You can even send us your pictures!
