The Hindu/Yoga Sun Salutation has no hands-and-knees pose (and no on-the-knees 
pose either, for that matter).

 You seem to be having difficulty with this exercise so I've prepared this 
simplified routine for rounding and as an warm-up exercise before beginning 
hatha yoga in preparation for deep meditation: 

 

 Get down on your hands and knees and pray; repeat the mantra: "Om Surya 
Namah". 
 

 The important point is try to make a mood of being humble, giving thanks to 
God for sustaining creation. Of course, practicing under a teacher is always 
best, such as the Mahesh Yogi or Yogi Bhajan. Good luck and good fortune in 
your pursuit of enlightenment!
 

 Note: For older folks, or those with an infirmity or limited range of motion, 
getting down on one knee is considered almost as efficacious. Or, failing that, 
a simple pranam posing the hands at the heart chakra and repeating the Surya 
mantra with heartfelt devotion.

It's not really that complicated.  

 So, I just don't see a problem with praying to God that your kids don't get 
their brain damaged playing football. What could go wrong with a simple prayer? 
I mean, that's the least you could do. 
 

 What good does it do to shout OMG! - after the kid gets a head injury?

are commissioned by God to spread the gospel, and that includes making a "show" 
of it.  Yoga practitioners generally feel no Divine imperative to spread a

 At any rate, I'll abide by Matthew 6. - private. Others may feel the need for
