Zen ‘til someone says the T-word (twins).
Alright, let’s dive headfirst into the magical, mysterious world of pregnancy yoga. Picture this: you're in a serene pose, breathing deeply, completely in your zone. Your limbs have stretched into some semblance of a peaceful starfish, ahead of you is tranquility... and behind you, lurking in the bushes like a rogue soccer ball, are those three words that can rattle your zen— "Is it twins?"
Yes, nothing pierces the calm like an unnecessary and mildly exasperating comment about how pregnant you look. Sweet dear friend or nosy stranger, it’s called a baby bump for a reason! So let’s take a fun, slightly sarcastic, and totally relatable journey through what your second trimester has in store, with a spotlight on maintaining your cool-cucumber composure through the wonders of pregnancy yoga.

It’s about harnessing your inner zen, feeling less like a puffed-up balloon, and more like the gorgeous goddess you totally are.
