you don't even imagine


Explanation:
"Some poses look so simple, you don't even imagine there might be some hidden difficulties."

... so simple, you don't even dream that ...
... so simple, it doesn't occur to you that there might be ...

Or: "... one doesn't ..." - if you're not using the 2nd person. But the second person sounds more natural. Or, you could vary the 3rd person, writing, "... so simple, that the observer doesn't ..."

  -> Hello? I did propose "occur," and I think Angela agreed with that one of my versions. I believe that what "fits best" depends on the rhythm of a larger piece of context than we see here, so I tried to provide the asker with a few variations.

"hidden reefs" ="подводные камни"- I don't know weather it came from English into Russian or not, but it means the same: "hidden danger" (скрытая опасность).

Some poses seem to be so obvious/simple/pure/innocent/, one may have no clues/ thoughts/evils about


Explanation:
In my opinion, the phrase, or the context is about “подводных камнях”, and not about "даже и мысли не возникает о”. The phrase “даже и мысли не возникает о..." does not have a unique meaning and, as we can see, can be translated in many ways, depending on one's preferences. I believe that one should base his/her translation on keywords of this sentence, which are ..."подводных камнях". Thus, the phrase may sound like follows:
Some poses seem to be so obvious/simple/pure/innocent/, one may have no clues/ thoughts/evils about hidden pitfalls.
