Head
Neither tilted forward nor back.
Find your spot, steady stare, stoic.
Smooth.
Long neck
Shoulders squared,
Exude confidence, elegance.
Smooth.
Elbows
Slightly bended, pinky extended,
Invisible tea cups, never sweetened.
Smooth.
Chest
Lifted, binded.
Even breaths, a fender not an engine.
Smooth.
Abs
In-visible string connecting to your spine.
Rib cage closed, form over function,
Smooth.
Hips
Squared, bones jutting
Turned out, wider. No. Wider.
Smooth.
Legs
Straight, elongated.
Hyperflexible, double jointed.
Smooth
Feet
Toes pointed.
Watch your lines.
Smooth.
