Position of Turtle for Guard Retention
The turtle position is used to retain the guard. It's normally entered from a seated guard as a result of defending the guard pass. But to effectively sit back into a seated guard from turtle, you must keep the opponent's hips above your shoulder line.

Top Position on Opponent's Turtle
When in the top position of the opponent's turtle, you must attempt to get below the shoulder line to get a dominant position. Otherwise your opponent can sit back into a guard.
