Yogo is a light form of Yoga practiced by the four main characters in the children s TV series Waybuloo . The characters, known as Piplings, demonstrate several poses inspired by things they see in their homeworld, Nara, such as owls, trees and insects. When the children or Cheebies arrive later during an episode, they then practice the same poses demonstrated by the Piplings at the start of the show. The cue for both the Piplings and the Cheebies to perform Yogo is an ancient machine, which activates when sunlight falls upon it. Yogo was developed by the show s producers in association with a Paediatrician and a Health and Safety Consultant. The leaflet produced by the BBC warns parents not to practise Yogo with their children if they are or have been ill, and always to speak to a General Practitioner GP before starting the program.
