Neil Berger

As a young man, I was always very active…I played sports, was a regular at the gym, and constantly on the move. After marriage and children, I was focused on being a great father and provider for my family. This left little time for myself, and I slowly began missing workouts, eating unhealthy foods, and falling into generally bad habits.  I had reconstructive surgery on my back and knees, leaving me with chronic pain that was treated with opiates. I spent the next 18 years sitting at a desk for 10+ hrs. per day, pre-diabetic, overweight, and inactive. The results were devastating…I felt awful in both mind and body, which made it difficult “showing up” for the people I loved. Certain life events put me in a position where I could either continue this unhealthy routine or evolve to make fundamental changes to my life. I chose the latter and began my own health and wellness journey. With motivation, education, support, and perseverance, I transformed not only my physical appearance, but became healthier, and happier on the inside. I know my story is not unique, so I resolved to change careers and concentrate on helping other people with similar challenges. This inspired me to open my own yoga and wellness center to provide the community with a safe space where people at all stages of their health journey can find the encouragement and resources they need.

Neil founded Evolve Yoga & Wellness in December 2023 with a simple mission…to provide an inclusive, community space where people can learn about health, develop fitness objectives, explore spiritual practices, and receive support for their wellness journey…regardless of where they are today.
