Pilates modification advice

Hi,

I'm currently working through Amanda's pilates videos and am wondering if anyone can help with a modification.

When in tabletop and doing glutes exercises where one arm is extended with the hand on the floor and one arm is on the floor (elbow down), I find this uncomfortable. For a visual, it's the position shown here:

I'm wondering if I can modify with both arms extended on wrists or with both elbows down. I'm not sure if there's a specific benefit I will miss out on if I don't do it in the way that it is demonstrated.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.
