Beach yogi: Billi Mucklow shared her impressive yoga skills while on the beach in Dubai, showing off her slender frame and baby bump in her mismatched bikini
For some mothers-to-be, an impending birth is a reason to slow things down a bit.
But for Billi Mucklow, having a growing bump isn't stopping her from keeping up with her fitness regime.
The
26-year-old former TOWIE star is currently living it up on a girls'
holiday in Dubai before she welcomes her first child with her footballer
fiancé Andy Carroll into the world, and has shared some snaps of her
rather impressive yoga poses on the beach.
One shot showed the qualified yoga instructor posing on one foot and holding the warrior III pose, looking comfortable in her mismatched bikini and with excellent form.
'Bikram on the beach #yoga #pregnancy #balancingstick #mybump @bikramyogaessex,' she wrote alongside it.
She certainly looked fit and healthy as she maintained her poise in the shot, her slender frame now boosted by her burgeoning tum.
She also managed to pull off the camel pose, revealing herself doing the tough yoga position with natural ease.

'Trying to keep in shape Bikram Yoga on the beach! #yoga #camelpose #pregnancy,' the yoga-loving mum-to-be added.
Although the beauty clearly doesn't need to worry too much about her physique as she nears the birth of her first child, she seemed set on keeping her pregnancy yoga up while sunning herself on the idyllic beach.
She's currently letting her hair down in the sun-soaked location with her mum and best friend Jenna-Louise, but is missing her man: on Monday, she shared a sweet message for Andy on Instagram.
The reality TV star showed off her bump in a tropical two-piece which featured a leaf patterned top and leopard print bikini bottoms.
