Tonya Zavasta – Raw Food and Hot Yoga

This is not just another book on yoga. This book will do something no other yoga book has done. The author wants to inspire you as no one has before.

Claudia says about this book:

Seldom I feel the urge to read a book more than once, for no other reason than, there is a plethora of books on my reading list.
Yet, this is such a book. It is packed with such wonderful information, so many tips to maintain supreme health, to reverse aging; I wish to consult it again and again. This book is an inspiration. If you've tried hot yoga (aka Bikram yoga) and failed... if you've only thought about doing yoga, this book will get you doing it. Think you're unfit? Inflexible? If Tanya can do it, so can you! She was not athletic. “I spent my whole life sitting, until age 48 that is, when I started doing Bikram Yoga“. Clearly, it is never too late to begin exercising. Even if her stringent hip limitations made her unfit for most of the 26 Bikram poses.

Tonya: “What inspires us is not how much is achieved, but how much is overcome.”

When Tonya was a child, because of her bilateral hip problem, her parents were told she would never walk. After years of grueling therapy, she did learn to walk without crutches, though she still had a limp. She was told to get used to the idea of limping for the rest of her life. That is when she stopped pleading with doctors and began thinking for herself. Confronted with the need for extensive surgery so she could walk normally, she began to seek a lifestyle that would support her recovery from the ravages of repeated incisions. Since 1997, she has been completely raw.

“If I looked like you, I wouldn’t even want to live” a girlfriend told her when she was a teenager. „Rawsome“ beauty has been her response. Today Tonya Zavasta is an international recognized author and at almost 60, she is a beautiful woman who looks decades younger than her age. She has been successful at bringing symmetry and grace to her face and body. Exercising for hours a day, endlessly researching anti-aging practices, she wants to avoid the decrepitude of old age at all cost.

Tonya: “When you are equipped with a pair of artificial hips, you’ll be spending a whole lot more time just living“.

For the last 20 years, she has been exploring techniques to achieve superior health and beauty, and has been victorious in developing a unique routine for radical rejuvenation . She has devised an anti-aging strategy which combines all the methods she has found offering tangible positive results, looking at contemporary and historical evidence to corroborate her routine. What Tonya discovers, she tests on herself first.

Additionally, to bringing her vast experience of her raw food journey, Tonya has an abundant academic background in mechanical engineering, theoretical mathematics and teaching, which have given her the skills to look deeper, to seek effective unorthodox solutions, to have the courage to speak her truth. For all her statements, she offers theory and proof. Her quest to preserve youth and reverse aging, is never ending.
All her life she was told all the things she couldn’t do, so she just simply did them. She collected “pearls of wisdom” from the East and the West, to reach old age youthful and beautiful; “to create a necklace of knowledge“ spanning cultures and centuries. She tackles the aging puzzle looking into folk traditions, wisdom and practices from different parts of the world.

Tonya commends the diet principles of the the philosopher- mathematician Pythagoras. She shares the success story of Luigi Cornaro who lived to be 102 years old, still maintaining vitality, juvenile and beautiful appearance. Mr. Cornaro was advised by his doctor to eat as little as possible quality foods, when he was 35 years old and ridden with disease. He abided, and in his nineties, he learned both singing and horseback riding. His mind remained clear, and his hearing and vision perfect.

Tonya researches scientific findings extensively. She demonstrates how most conclusions available to us, contradict logic, and the flaw in the proposed cures for the „seven sins of aging“. She admonishes us to become our own physician, without dogmatizing, keeping an open mind, while learning.

Tonya: „Be open to change as new experiments on the body open new secrets“.

Gerontologists boast drugs and procedures to arrest aging. They know there is no money in advocating natural resources. Medical science wants to treat aging like it treats any degenerative disease, with vaccines and medications; treat the symptoms that is, albeit on the molecular level. “Most pharmaceutical interventions are composed of chemicals that transmit signals to the body. These signals instruct one or another of the body’s systems, to delay, stop, or reverse symptoms related to a given pathology”, without healing the specific pathology. Tonya shows us the path to rejuvenating our appearance and experience supreme health, without relying on doctors or medications. Tonya’s natural methods offer an increased quality of life, and “30 years of added youth”.

Candid, intimate, intellectually illuminating – this is a book on the frontier of new science. Her writing is fearless, her message powerful. We can all benefit greatly from reading her work. She is leading us to the truth, bearing her heart in the process. Candidly, she shares thoughts and discoveries even when their validity is in contradiction with mainstream opinion. She fights fiercely with the power of words to keep an authentic footprint, engaged in a war on aging.
