Arm position when playing

I’ve read about hand position to hold a harmonica, but I don’t recall anything about arm position. I tend to have my left elbow away from my body when playing one handed but upper arms clamped against my ribs when holding the harmonica with both hands, which I do more often. I’m thinking maybe it’s a bad habit because it might be restricting my airways, although I haven’t noticed that it does.
I hope I’ve explained that well enough. Think of bird wings, actually with my skinny legs, think of a seagull. Should I be wings tucked in like I’m sitting on a rock or wings out, like I’m squabbling over a chip? Does it matter?

As long you are comfortable and you are relaxed and your breathing is not restricted I wouldn’t worry too much about it
