Can be modified with props , as in the picture above . Start near a wall lying on your side. Bring your hips as close as possible to the wall. Then come onto your back. You may have to wiggle forward toward to wall if your buttocks are not touching the wall. Palms can be on your belly, or out to the side with your palms up. Hold for 5 to 10 minutes as you mindfully observe your breath and any sensations you feel in your body. This should feeling very relaxing.

Safety Tips for snow shoveling:
Start with 1. preparing your body for the activity, 2. using good body mechanics when actually shoveling, and 3. stretching after the activity. Staying hydrated and properly dressed is also necessary for safety. Keeping redundancy of effort to a minimum will also save you time and energy. This means avoiding shoveling the same snow twice by planning where to deposit the snow in advance, not throwing snow long distances, and by shoveling in a pattern that allows for depositing the snow below shoulder height.
