Between the six pregnancies of the current Kalila Community Momma team, we’ve done a lot of yoga. Here are some of our favourites for you to try (if your medical profession gives you the okay 😉 ) Mountain Pose – the most overlooked yoga pose in my opinion.

So I’m now 6 months into my second pregnancy and the bump is starting to get seriously bigger but whilst on my summer holidays I’m keen to keep as active as possible.
