In this uplifting episode of The Senior Scoop, hosts Deborah and Kelsey Samuel sit down with two Santa Barbara fitness experts who help seniors stay strong, mobile, and confident at any age.

First, Justin Randolph, founder of Sol Seek Yoga, shares how yoga, mindful breathing, and gentle movement improve bone strength, mobility, and pain relief — even for beginners.

Then, Natasha Caleel, owner of Sage Society Fitness & Wellness, explains why learning proper technique transforms confidence, balance, and functional strength for seniors returning to exercise after years away.
