Since the person is trained, you might ask them to assume certain poses they are used to, and then just tweek their position according to the lighting and how it looks in camera. Sometimes a bit exagerated or dramatic enhancements to a pose will be nicer to view on an image.
When I did the "nude" challenge, I asked the model to take a deeper breath, and then hold it a second while I shot. This emphasized her ribs. When I do portraits at the studio, the hands are important, and sometimes it feels awkward to the model to "break the wrist" or whatever, but looks better on the finished image.
