relaxed posture

Loose body language

Relaxed posture is body positioning that signals ease rather than tension or formality—shoulders dropped, muscles loose, weight settled comfortably.

The phrase appears in contexts ranging from yoga instruction to body language analysis: Her relaxed posture suggested she felt at home.

In ergonomics, it describes positioning that minimizes strain: Adjust your chair to maintain a relaxed posture while typing.
