How to do a hindu push up

  1. Start in a downward dog position with hips raised high, hands and feet on the floor, forming an inverted V shape.
  2. Bend your elbows and lower your chest in a sweeping arc toward the floor, moving forward.
  3. As you reach the bottom, drop your hips and arch your back, pushing your chest and head upward into an upward dog position.
  4. Reverse the motion by pushing your hips back up to return to the downward dog starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep the movement smooth and continuous, flowing between positions.
  • Avoid flaring your elbows excessively to protect your shoulders.
  • Engage your core throughout to control the arc.
  • Keep your head in line with the sweeping motion.
