Yogi Push-Up ("Chaturanga")

Description

From the quadruped position, move your knees slightly back behind your hips, brace your trunk, and bring your shoulders slightly forward over your hands. Bend your elbows, keeping them tucked against your rib cage to control and slow your descent toward the floor. Keep your body aligned from your shoulders to your knees, without collapsing in your lower back, and direct your gaze toward the floor, slightly forward. Maintain smooth breathing throughout the movement.
