I think you need to support your lower back more in that pose ti make it a safe demonstration for all. You seem to be collapsing in the lumber region which can cause injury and pain if that posture becomes a habit.
If yoga was a sport then Chaturanga Dandasana would be a Push Up, yes, but Chaturanga Dandasana is not what you see when watching push ups at gyms or Crossfit competitions. CD is a PU done perfectly, effortlessly, with specific muscle engagement, proper foundation & support, body awareness, fluidity and relaxation throughout the movement, with no use of inertia or explosively to go through the motion, as it is not the total count or the speed that is the unit used to measure success but rather alignment, openness, anchorage, presence, flow and ease (in one word: practicing yoga). In that sense, it is much more, and much harder to master than what is commonly called a Push Up, as well as much more rewarding.
@@rawabrave8723 You get down slowly until you brush against the ground, floating just above. If you are able to pause there you do so. If you are able to move back up, you do so, but it is also perfectly acceptable to just end on the ground. Done properly it is very hard to do even 1 chaturanga PU. You do intend to move with your breath, always. When comfortable enough, it is nice to inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up. When starting the best is to do chaturanga PU on the knees to make it a little bit easier. If it is not easy, make it easier, don't push harder! I hope it helps :)
