cueing thoughts:
I suggest cueing a curve in low back during utkatasana, (aka slight tail-bone tuck with toned inner thighs, tush squeeze and engaged pelvic floor) otherwise the back extensors begin doing the work for the quads and glutes. During twisted/revolved crescent cue engaging the glutes, and have the extended leg (the leg that is back) femur pulled into it's socket (i.e. level hip shift) to create strong low back support (another good spot of pelvic tone cue, too). This will encourage the twist to occur above the sacrum in the lumber region instead of around the sacrum through the hips.
