The Energise with Alex Difference

Fall in love with the way you move

Hi, I'm Alex

I’m a Qigong, Karate, and Kobudo teacher based in the UK — a 5th Dan Black Belt and former English Champion. Safe to say, I’m passionate about movement and helping people feel energised through it!

So many people think of exercise as boring or a chore. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Your movement practice should feel joyful, uplifting and fun - something you actually look forward to.

That’s why I created DYNAMIC QIGONG™

✔ Loosely based on traditional sets
✔ Designed to boost your mood, energy and focus
✔ Partly set to music to help you move with ease and flow

Music brings your practice to life - it helps you remember sequences and gives your brain a natural boost of endorphins and energy. Whether you're joining a live group session or catching up with a recording, you can choose by set or even by song.

Let yourself be moved.
This is about owning your practice — unlocking your own incredible natural energy and truly feeling the power and joy of movement.

What is Dynamic Qigong™?

Qigong (pronounced chi-gong) is an easy-to-learn, whole body exercise with a focus on co-ordinating breathing with movement. It seeks to deliver a healthy, supple body whilst also improving cardiovascular fitness, strength and balance.

As a modern development of the ancient Chinese art of Qigong, DYNAMIC QIGONG™ blends Qigong's movement with elements from Alex’s other areas of expertise including breathwork, yoga and karate, and is infused with her deep knowledge of body mechanics to:

         
✔ Relieve muscular tightness
✔ Sooth aches & pains
✔ Fix your posture
✔ Improve cardiovascular fitness
✔ Enhance strength & balance

 

Dynamic Qigong™ is intended to be done regularly – not only is it a fantastic part of any self-care routine, you are also embarking on an incredible journey of self-cultivation.

Scientific studies have shown Qigong to improve such things as fatigue, sleep quality, chronic pain, COPD, anxiety and depression. Above all though, DYNAMIC QIGONG™ is FUN!

                      

Is Dynamic Qigong™ for Me?

Dynamic Qigong™ is suitable for every body - whether an elite athlete or reluctant exerciser. It’s perfect if you:

  • Want low impact, engaging exercise to improve your fitness and well-being
  • Need to improve your core strength, posture and balance
  • Want an accessible route into a fun, invigorating exercise routine you can sustain
  • Aspire to cultivate a skill which harnesses your natural energy and promotes real joy
  • Want to combat stress and start each day feeling truly energised and alive!

Your Teacher

Alex Carter is a life-long martial artist, a Karate, Kobudo and Qigong teacher based in the UK with 25 years’ professional experience – a 5th dan Black Belt in Karate and kobudo and former English Champion.

Inspired by the masters she learnt from, she has travelled the world over 3 decades from Taiwan to Okinawa to study with the most talented masters of Karate, Kobudo, Qigong, Kung Fu and Tai Chi.  The term ‘Sensei’ literally means “someone who has been there before” – Alex really has.

She has collated her favourite elements from each discipline to produce genuinely energising classes. Each session builds a new layer of skill, meaning your effort always comes with reward.

“I’ve been so fortunate to learn so much from my travels - I want to share with you all the best bits so you too can experience the joy of movement and love your exercise!”  Alex
