A Yogi's Odyssey
My name is Shaniece Matthews, and I hail from the vibrant city of Boston, MA. Born and raised in the heart of New England, I carry the spirit of resilience and community with me wherever I go. In December 2022, my children and I embarked on a new chapter, relocating to the serene city of Portland, OR. Little did I know that this move would deepen my connection to yoga and ignite a passion that would shape my purpose.
My journey with yoga began in 2013, a pivotal year in my life. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, I sought solace and balance. Yoga became my sanctuary—a space where I could breathe, stretch, and reconnect with my inner self.
In February 2022, I proudly earned my certification as a yoga instructor. Armed with this knowledge, I lead as DJR Yogi Sparks, inspired by my incredible children: De’Jsia, John, and Regina.
