From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
Nothing like that first whiff of spring to make you want to tone your arms a little. A lot of yoga poses have you bearing weight on your arms, but if you want to take it a little further, here are three ways to work some push-ups into your routine.

Lizard Push-Ups
For lizard push-ups, skip the step where you come down to the elbows. The starting position is with the arms straight and palms flat on the floor. From there, it's nose to the mat and back up. Try for ten.

Chaturanga Push-Ups
If you've been practicing chaturanga for a while, up the ante by adding some chaturanga push-ups into your vinyasas. After you come down to chaturanga, push back up into plank, then return to chaturanga again before continuing on to upward facing dog.
