Portuguese term or phrase: queixo recolhido
Como? Com a postura Wu Chi - silêncio interior - , que representa o símbolo da totalidade. Em pé, pernas unidas e esticadas, coluna ereta, queixo recolhido suavemente e ombros relaxados. Una os braços pelas mãos na altura do baixo ventre, formando um círculo. Em silêncio, com olhos semicerrados e respiração natural, procure acalmar a mente e manter a atenção no processo respiratório. Tente visualizar uma luz que transpassa o seu corpo desde o topo da cabeça até a sola dos pés e retira toda a tensão corporal e preocupação mental em forma de fumaça negra que sai pelos pés e poros do corpo.

chin tucked in


Explanation:
Even though an answer has been selected, I would suggest this as a more appropriate translation - it's immediately clear what posture is being described if you use 'tucked in' in English.
