OBOW Monthly Green Tip
As the temperatures dip and we go full-swing into fall, it's time to start thinking about the most important part of preparing for winter: weatherizing. During the cold months of winter, heat escapes through the cracks and crevices of your home costing you money, wasting energy and leaving you cold. Follow these Greentips from the Union of Concerned Scientists to make your home a little greener, and warmer, this winter.
Halloween Fun Feature
The apples and pumpkins are out and the Halloween costumes are on sale. Before you start grabbing sugar-filled candy for your anxious little trick-or-treaters, take a moment to consider a few more healthful Halloween snacks, recommended by the American Dietetic Foundation. Fill your candy bowl with:
• Mini rice cereal bar
• Mini juice boxes
• Mini bags of popcorn
• Mini dark-chocolate bars with nuts
• Cheese and cracker packages
• Granola bars
• Stickers
Find more tips about how to make this Halloween a happy and healthy one.

Leaves change color due to a lack of chlorophyll, the chemical produced by plants that gives them their green color. A reduced amount of sunlight slows chlorophyll production and depletes the leaves of their green color. Read more about the beautiful foliage of fall at:

Taking YogaFit Global
By Beth Shaw
I believe that the most challenging jobs and most obscure positions can help you prepare to start and grow your own business.

I share this story because even if you get fired from a job, you can be successful in your own business. This is the story about how I transformed my passion for yoga into a profession.

Cuing the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection
A Practical Guide
By Ilene Bergelson
 The Glazed Look. That blank empty stare we sometimes receive when we ask our clients for the 411 on their bodies. Once we see that look, we know we are in for the challenge of teaching someone who is tuned out.
Whether our clients realize it or not, we depend upon their participation to help them progress. When our clients can't tell what's going on inside themselves, it's like our partner is MIA.
Our job, which can make a HUGE impact on self-awareness, is facilitating the connection between all parts of the self. That connection, serves as a partner both internally and externally. Internally, it partners to the individual within him or herself. Externally, it helps the individual partner with us (instructors) in the act of teaching.
People tune out or lose touch for any number of reasons. Unless we are additionally qualified, it is beyond our scope of practice to psychologically counsel our clients or treat them for neurological issues. But even if there are underlying issues that necessitate referring out, there are things we can do well within our scope as fitness professionals.
