Master Lo's general advice:

The movements should be performed in a very fluid and relaxed way, this will also help to calm your mind.

Your breathing should be very relaxed. When the movement stops, try to hold your breath a few seconds, without pushing yourself to the limit, with time you will improve!
Try to repeat the movement at least two up to eight times (each side).
In upright position: maintain your head as if pulled up by a string coming from above. Keep your shoulders, elbows relaxed. Pull the tailbone slightly down. The knees should be naturally bended, and feet at shoulder width.
The exercise is improved by daily practice (but don't put too much pressure on yourself).
