Shiva Dand— a smooth swoop, not a fast push-up.
Hindu push-up (dand), step by step:
Start with the hips high. Bend the elbows and let the chest travel low, close to the floor, then press up into a lifted chest — and push the hips back to where you began. Both hands stay grounded the whole time.
✅ Works shoulders, chest, arms and core
One common form — names and details vary between teachers. Move only through a range you can control. If it's new to you, learn it with a qualified teacher; if it hurts, stop. Wrist, shoulder or lower-back problems: check with a doctor or physio first.
