Tips for beginners:
focus on turning the torso (pivoting along the spine)
try your best to copy, but do what feels easy, open, freeing, and comfortable
don't worry about doing things "correctly"
Tips for intermediate/+:
eyes up toward the horizon (not on the hands)
slow down to feel the integration of feet, legs, torso and arm with your center (
dantian
