The world of the Piplings is Nara, a wonderful, natural paradise where they explore the freedom of nature and help to preserve beauty and peace.

In one episode of the programme Waybuloo, Yok Tok is concerned with keeping his ‘happy plant’ cheerful, another features the Piplings keeping a bubble up in the air to preserve its beauty and serenity. It is an unreservedly contented and carefree atmosphere.

At frequent intervals, the crystals start chiming and it’s ‘Time for yogo!’. When the Piplings are enjoying themselves, they experience ‘buloo’, a state of happiness, which makes them float up into the air. They then perform a series of yoga moves, named after natural objects such as ‘tree’, ‘fish’, ‘wave’, ‘shell’. These are taken straight from yoga and can easily be identified as such. During these activities, the Pipkins talk to the viewer, urging: ‘You do it!’ After yogo, they float up into the air again.
