The only problem with this is that I try to reproduce it myself to show students where I want them at foot strike. However, when properly positioned, the back foot at this point should have already been pulled completely over by your hip position. I fall down when I try to hold the position. Probably could have held it when I was younger. However, I started puting my back foot on a short chair so that I can mimic hip/shoulder separation.
