About Us
Founded in 2023 in Sydney, AIAYS is the realisation of Ashok Alexander’s vision to meld ancient wisdom with contemporary Australian life, enhancing well-being through self-awareness and environmental consciousness. With years of experience teaching yoga in Darwin, Ashok has connected with many Australians increasingly interested in holistic health approaches that address not just symptoms but the roots of issues, especially in hormone, digestion, and mental health.
AIAYS is passionate about connecting Australian clients with India’s vast medical expertise. Indian Ayurveda doctors, who in most cases handle significantly more cases than their western counterparts and possess communication skills and knowledge on par with Western standards, offer a substantial resource. The plan includes partnerships with various Indian retreat centres to provide health solutions across different budgets and needs. For those unable to travel, local centres offer alternative solutions.
With Ashok’s extensive background in business and technology to develop a robust online medium along with a dedicated team and medical specialists, AIAYS is bringing holistic healing and comprehensive health solutions to Australia.
About Us:Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission: To prioritise customer well-being through Ayurveda, yoga and meditation, bringing them closer to nature, and in turn, themselves through greater understanding.
Our Vision: To be a premier health and knowledge centre for Ayurveda and Yogic Science in Australia, seamlessly integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary practices to foster holistic wellness.
A word from our CEO.
Commonly, we assume that if we are not sick, we are well. Yet, Western medical practices often recognise poor health too late, when conditions have become chronic and are either irreversible or require drastic measures with significant side effects. Ayurveda offers a different perspective, identifying early signs of imbalance, such as occasional bloating, skin irritation, or headaches, as the onset of health issues. Health is not a simple binary of sick and well, much like water on a stove isn’t just cold or boiling—it is a gradual process. Recognising early signs, such as changes in urine colour, tongue coating, eye redness, or fluctuating hunger levels, allows us to address these issues well before they escalate.
Our aim is not merely to prevent illness, but to help you achieve optimal health—a state where your body, mind, and spirit are strong. This not only enhances your daily life but it is also fostering a deeper connection to well-being and vitality. We are committed to Elevating Wellness by integrating the profound principles and practices from ancient Indian texts, Ayurveda and Yoga, into the fabric of Australian life. We address today’s complex health challenges by preventing, counteracting, or rebalancing them. We anticipate that the conventional medical system may become inadequate over the next two decades, potentially leading to a general decline in mental and physical health.
Nevertheless, many individuals will rise to the challenge, improving their well-being and aiding others in the process. If you’ve read this far about us, you are likely one of them. We aim to be your trusted source for health, just as you rely on a mechanic for your car or an accountant for your finances. We support you with knowledge, herbs, skills, and the confidence to navigate your health journey, including a complimentary pre-consultation with our founder to share the wisdom and passion that fuel our mission.
We are here to help you blossom into the best version of yourself with the ancient wisdom we are privileged to share. Always just a phone call or quick chat away, we invite you to join us early and become part of our inner circle. Together, we can significantly alter how health and wellness are approached in Australia. While we are passionate about Ayurveda and Yoga, we respect each individual’s right to choose their path to wellness. If you feel this path is right for you, we are here to support you every step of the way.
