Hm I don't really see it. In fact, her posture reminds me of Rochette. Very straight back with a strong core but relaxed shoulders. The only time that I think she has a bit of stiffness in her arms is when she's setting up for a jump. Maybe it's the straight back that gives off the impression of stiffness. I'm personally fond of it and thinks it really helps her to project OUT while holding the tension. If there's a top skater that I think has a stiff upper body it's Kiira Korpi.
