easy manner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'obtain poise' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a simple way' is the wordplay.
'a simple' becomes 'easy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'way' becomes 'manner' (synonyms).
'easy'+'manner'='EASY MANNER'

'to' is the link.
