Our beloved Pauline Clegg, early pioneer of the yoga retreat movement and founder of R&R Resorts, passed away on August 5th, 2019. She will be dearly missed by many.   

Pauline was both humble and passionate and led an incredible life. Her vision of having a positive impact on the planet led her to cultivate a community to realize this dream. Over the years, she dedicated herself to building this community through yoga and her partnerships with Maya Tulum Retreat & Spa in Mexico and Pura Vida Retreat & Spa in Costa Rica. She created a successful yoga retreat business model that continues to touch the lives of so many. Those close to her spoke of her gentle spirit, strength, and ability to always have fun.

We are grateful for the condolences, kind thoughts and memories shared by so many of you. Pauline leaves a legacy that will be carried on at R&R Resorts, and the properties they represent, for many years to come.

Chaya– Mayan Spinach – is used in traditional Mayan influenced cuisine all over the Yucatan Peninsula. From sauces mixed in with veggies, or as part of a delicious smoothie, it has more iron than traditional spinach and is high in potassium and calcium.  Health benefits include improved memory and brain function, as well as helping to combat arthritis and diabetes.

RECIPE:

• 4 Large Chaya leaves 
• 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 cup fresh pineapple

*Substitute regular spinach if Chaya is unavailable or frozen fruits instead of fresh if necessary.

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Toss into a blender and liquify.  
2. Strain the juice into a tall glass with ice.
3. Enjoy!
