Introduction

Hebrew Text

הָאֻמָּנִין קוֹרִין בְּרֹאשׁ הָאִילָן אוֹ בְּרֹאשׁ הַנִּדְבָּךְ,
מַה שֶּׁאֵינָן רַשָּׁאִין לַעֲשׂוֹת כֵּן בִּתְפִלָּה.

English Translation

Workers can recite [Shema] on top of a tree or on top of a wall of stones,
which they are not permitted to do for tefillah [prayer].

Explanation

We see in Mishnah Berakhot 1:3 that the physical posture does not matter when reciting Shema (following the opinion of Beit Hillel), whereas the tefillah must be said in a standing position (cite?).
