Push up form for those who struggle

I've been told a million times that push ups are the best exercise for the chest. But for some reason I was never able to do one! Even as a yogi, I tried to do chaturanga for years and never could. Then one day I saw a video mentioning your elbows can also be angled away from your torso. And it really helped me and made it a bit easier! See the picture here to see what I mean.
