Step 1
Get into a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your back straight. Raise your hips toward the ceiling by keeping your legs straight, and lower your head so that your back and arms form a straight line, as in Downward Dog Pose. If you have flexibility, plant your heels on the floor.
Step 2
Then lower your hips to the floor and tilt your upper body forward, bending your elbows and lifting your chest with your arms fully extended, as in the cobra pose. Pause for a moment to feel a nice stretch in your lower back. Return to the starting position in reverse motion.

Hindu Push-ups targets Abs, Core, Shoulders, Traps as seen below.

Keep your core engaged, and keep the movement fluid and smooth.
Breathe deeply as you move from downward to upward pose, keeping the elbows close to your body.
