The story of our founder, Ashok Alexander, is one of transformation — from high-pressure corporate life to a path of holistic wisdom.
Like many professionals, Ashok’s early career in IT demanded long hours, constant stress, and the drive to build thriving businesses. Despite his success — running an IT firm and holding a stake in a medical clinic — the cost was heavy amd more important not integrated. Headaches, chest pains, and burnout became constant companions. At the time, his only solution was to increase his health insurance assuming getting sick as we get older is natural, not realising that what he truly needed was not more coverage, but deeper care.
However, surely everything didnot go according to the plan, the weak, half hearted creation decided to collapse. Taking with it all that was the meaning to him. That turning point sparked a journey. Ashok stepped away from his businesses and embarked on a 4,000 km walk across Australia — a profound pilgrimage of self-discovery. Along the way, he immersed himself in the timeless wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda, studying the teachings of India’s ancient rishis and saints by visiting various places.
This path of discovery became a path of mastery. Ashok completed his Teacher Training Certification in Yoga at the Sivananda Yoga Institute in Trivandrum, pursued intensive Ayurveda training in Dharamshala, and later a two-year practitioner’s course to deepen his expertise. He also explored Ayahuasca and Vipassana meditation as part of a commitment to understand the full spectrum of body–mind connection, leaving no stone unturned.
His engineering and Business backgrounded was helpful in clearning the stories from the core of it all, challenging him and him challenging it every bit.
