agree Ildiko Santana : Szerintem inkább általános alany ez a YOU - "vegyük természetesnek", "szemünk se rebbenjen". (Konrad Lorenz kislibákkal, kiskacsákkal és egyéb apróságokkal végzett kutatásai jutnak eszembe. A kicsinyek őt tekintették a "mamájuknak")

ne lepődj meg, ha

take something in your stride (British, American & Australian) also take something in stride (American)
to calmly and easily deal with something unpleasant or difficult and not let it affect what you are doing
Note from asker:
You will be shocked to find that, at about 3 and a half count, your breath will shudder to a strangulated halt.You will stand there holding your breath for the next few count feeling slightly foolish and worrying about your arms which dont seem at all like seagull wings and are nowwhere near touching your ears. Dont be discouraged .........As for the breathing, that will come when finally you understand what is meant by "breathing with the throat".......Actually the first few times, it will be more than just a snoring sound. Take it in stride if .............

You are right, but in this given context the Hungarian translation would be slightly awkward ("tekintsd természetesnek, ha kismalacok jönnek..."). Imho, using "ne lepődj meg" is a more lifelike choice.
