Get Hip to Your Hip Alignment

In a bow stance, when 70% of your weight shifts into your right leg, your right hip should be released back. The knee goes forward and should track over the middle of your foot, but the hip is released back. The hips are positioned under the shoulders and you maintain that alignment when your weights shifts forward and back in a bow stance. Some students, while shifting their weight forward, turn their hips and shove the right hip forward.  Turning the hips could strain the lower back and cause hip pain.
