Learning to sit the canter well is a learning curve for sure, if you're able to sit the trot without bouncing and adapt to the up and down of that, the canter is similar in you need to follow your horse's movement, i'm not a trainer but i've been riding for years lol, so the best way i can describe it is that the canter moves almost like a wave, and you need to follow that wave by scooping your hips along with your horse's stride. It's been a long time since i first learned to canter lol and it's mainly muscle memory for me so i wish i could be of more help, but talk with your instructor to get a better idea, don't be afraid to keep asking for help from them if you feel like you aren't getting it, you'll have your seat in no time ;)
