What mood is that?
Last-minute panic."

Book Yoga Challenge

The Society of Authors (SoA) is hosting a week long Yoga Book Challenge from August 7th through August 11th to raise awareness of the importance of authors looking after themselves and each other from health to finances.  

​According to the SoA, the organization will tweet a daily photograph inspired by a beloved book and invite followers to do the challenge by submitting a picture each day to win a signed book by Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, Joanna Trollope, Lemn Sissay or Joanne Harris.  The yoga challenge picture should:
  • recreate the pose;​
  • try out an alternative pose;
  • subvert the pose (given the professional pursuits of many of the SoA’s 36,000 Twitter followers this could mean anything, from illustrations and haiku to described poses in translation and anatomically accurate educational analyses of a pose).

In case you want to start thinking about what you're poses will be here's the schedule for the poses and signed books is: Monday (8/7) – the best pose inspired by Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows will win a signed book from Joanna Trollope; Tuesday (8/8) – the best pose inspired by JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit will win a signed book from Joanne Harris; Wednesday (8/9) – the best pose inspired by Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will win a signed book from Philip Pullman; Thursday (8/10) – the best pose inspired by Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will win a signed copy of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (new edition illustrated by Chris Riddell); and Friday (8/11) – the best pose inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm will win a signed book from Lemn Sissay.

When submitting your pose include the hashtag #SoADoesYoga no later than August 13th as a winner will be announced the week of August 14th.  Make sure to read the terms and conditions in the SoA website before entering the challenge since they are not taking any responsibility for injuries.    

Good Luck!!!
