No hip sagging, chest slumping, or excessive head elevation. Give the body the freedom to create sound. Let it breath and stretch as it needs to.
This also means to be as flexible as possible. Be sure that you are not rigidly holding the body in one shape. A noble posture is also dynamic.
Apparently I also need to note that I have to watch that I'm not holding my back too forward. I have always resisted the English school of the spread back, but apparently I do need to incorporate some of that in my posture. When a realignment was made during a lesson it was amazing how much easier my breath was and how different but noble I still felt.
