Down Dog Push-Ups

  • Begin in a Downward Dog, an inverted V position, stretching your calves and lengthening your spine.
  • Lower your elbows gently to the floor, coming into into a Quarter Dog position.
  • Press your hands into the floor to straighten your elbows and pull your navel up toward your spine to move the pelvis up and back. Return to your Down Dog to complete one rep.

This push-up works the shoulders, but you are going to need your abs to push off your forearms to return to the Downward Dog position.
