Ron,
Going back to your OP, your learning #1 was to get your feet and hips aligned as your hips were behind your feet. There is a pic in another thread where everything about you looks good, but, to my eyes, your hips are behind your feet and that's what you are working on.

Anyway, this weekend, I spent some time with my fav instructors book, Essentials of something or other. There is an entire chapter devoted to for-aft balance with a bunch of exercises on pulling back your feet rather than pushing hips forward. I put some boots on and did this dryland and it's pretty effective to feel the abdominal muscles pull the hips forward.

Centering is a Clendenin magic word too, but, I don't know how JC instructs students to do it.

No matter what your thinking is about HH as an individual, his body positions and lessons on how to get there work.
