When it comes to singing, two very important elements one must address are posture and breath management. In order to sing with ease, we must allow for the breath to come in naturally, unforced, and with the help of the body’s natural rhythms. Allow me to suggest this simple approach, which is the basis of the Alexander Technique.

Thank-you for your comment Halvard!
I was taught with the beginning of the yes position, but I think you make a good point here as we do not want to force anything.
Thanks for reading and all the best to you and your students,
Angie

Very nice!
But maybe skip the ‘yes-position’ (you risk pulling the chin down).
