Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in Ancient India and aim to control (yoke) and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind (Citta) and mundane suffering (Duhkha). There is a wide variety of schools of yoga, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and traditional and modern yoga is practiced worldwide. The term “yoga” in the Western world often denotes a modern form of hatha yoga and a posture-based physical fitness, stress-relief and relaxation technique, consisting largely of the asanas and this differs from traditional yoga, which focuses on meditation and release from worldly attachments. It was introduced by gurus from India after the success of Swami Vivekananda‘s adaptation of yoga without asanas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vivekananda introduced the Yoga Sutras to the West, and they became prominent after the 20th-century success of hatha yoga. An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali define “asana” as “a position that is steady and comfortable“. Asanas are also called yoga poses or yoga postures in English.

Kawaii (lovely, loveable, cute, or adorable) is the culture of cuteness in Japan. It can refer to items, humans and non-humans that are charming, vulnerable, shy and childlike. Examples include cute handwriting, certain genres of manga, and characters including Hello Kitty and Pikachu. The cuteness culture, or kawaii aesthetic, has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, and mannerisms. The word kawaii originally derives from the phrase kao hayushi, which literally means “(one’s) face (is) aglow“, commonly used to refer to flushing or blushing of the face. The second morpheme is cognate with -bayu in mabayui “dazzling, glaring, blinding, too bright, dazzlingly beautiful” (ma- is from me “eye“) and -hayu in omohayui “embarrassed/embarrassing, awkward, feeling self-conscious/making one feel self-conscious” (omo- is from omo, an archaic word for “face, looks, features, surface, image, semblance, vestige“). Over time, the meaning changed into the modern meaning of “cute” or “shine” , and the pronunciation changed to kawayui and then to the modern kawaii. It is commonly written in hiragana, but the ateji, has also been used. The kanji in the ateji literally translates to “able to love/be loved, can/may love, lovable“.
