Hindu Pushup

Start on all fours in a downward dog stretch position with the head between the shoulders, the hips high, and the knees straight. Lift your head and drop your chest toward the ground.

Unlike a regular pushup, keep your hips elevated and snake your body toward the ground without quite touching it. As your chest goes beyond your hands, arch upward and finish in upward dog position.

Raise your hips for the next rep, or for more of a challenge try to go in reverse.
