When sketching people live the details are of secondary importance, try not to concentrate on creating a perfect drawing with very tight linework etc but capturing a certain pose etc. With this type of life drawing the purpose is not to create perfect drawings but to improve and perfect your ability to draw ;). Because you'll be drawing very expressively with quick fluid pencil marks to indicate detail and space rather than refine it, your drawings will have a 'lively' feel or life to them that creates a feel of movement.
It really is just practice with this type of drawing, many times also a person will go back to a pose that they were in before they moved.
Just keep drawing from life and studying and your progress will come naturally.
Also do you have a sketchbook here with these drawings? If so, link me and I'll take a look and give you some feedback.
