Actually, she can also step forward.

I've found a diagonal backward step works best.

Bottom line, though, this is NOT a step one should be
experimenting with on your own.  Find a friend who knows
how to do it and have them physically there or else you
could hurt the woman's back, which any woman who has worked
on this can tell you.  And it's not fair for her to be
treated like a science project.

P.S.  Anne-Sophie was not aware of the video but would like
to be given the proper credit, which is Anne-Sophie Ville
and Pablo Fontana of Washington, DC.  Video was taken a
couple of years ago from the DC Marathon, which Anne-Sophie
organizes.

P.P.S.  At workshops we host, some visiting instructors who
have allowed videotaping reviews of workshops in the past
are no longer allowing it at all.  Unauthorized posting to
YouTube is one reason why.
