I don't think that any fore/aft leaning should come to mind. Imagine that you're skiing in slippers rather than boots and on 2' long skis - stay centered. There's little thought of pressuring various parts of the ski to initiate and complete turns anymore. Some do drills skiing with fully loose boots to learn the body feeling.
Also, it's a two-footed turn. You have two feet and two legs (most likely) - use them. To counter old habits try to put more pressure (like 75%) on your
inside ski. A good drill is to use only the inside ski on each turn, like actually lift the outside ski. Back on a '90s college ski team we'd leave a ski at the bottom and do a lap on one leg. Good fitness drill, too!
Or take a lesson (seriously it's worth it)
