Her posture was of an admirable behaviour.
Her posture was of an admirable behaviour.
I read this sentence in a Buddhist magazine. From what I gather, it means her behaviour was admirable.
I don't know whether native speakers find the sentence fine. If not, please show me how to improve the sentence.
Thank you.

I'm struggling to find a way to use 'posture' and 'behaviour' in the same sentence. but I can't see a way to link them and the original sentence is not natural!

Thank you David.
I agree the original sentence has 'posture' and 'behaviour' and they don't fit well.
I think the sentence should be changed to "Her behaviour is admirable."
