skate to low?you want to be low and use all your stride and spread out your stride. dont worry about it and skate how ever its comfortable but make sure you get a stick thats has a low lie like a 5 or 4 to fit your stride

First of all, being low is a good thing. But obviously the awkwardness is not. The main thing to fix this problem is to get full extension of your legs as you skate. Also, you want to direct your legs outwards, not behind you. All in all, remember to stay low, but not so your **** is dragging on the ice, bend your legs to almost 90 degrees, and extend your legs out all the way to the sides. If you follow these steps you should see improvement. Last, I don’t know about your rink, but most rinks have skating clinics that can really help you out if you’re still having trouble.

That is because they are not skating properly. When skating you want to get as deep of a knee bend as you can. During practice, over bend them to train your muscles to get used to being “low” and it will translate into you being a more powerful skater.
