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!

Her posture was admirable / She had admirable posture
or

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."

That makes perfect sense to me!
