SunSpark Yoga, an independent, family-owned and operated community studio, was founded in April 2012 and is still operated by both Stacey & Ernie Schuerman through their desire to share a love of yoga, mindfulness & community with others. They found their perfect location in Orange, CA in an historic building of Old Towne Orange. SunSpark Yoga, Stacey and Ernie, their instructors and students are a big part of the community in Old Towne Orange. You can find them in the studio, around the Orange Plaza or in the fabulous selection of restaurants in the circle.
Stacey Schuerman is an ERYT-500 (+7000 teaching hours and over 16 years experience), YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider), Yoga Nidra Meditation Guide and Karma Kids Yoga Instructor. She grew up mostly in and around Texas and spent several years on the East Coast before finally settling in Southern California in 2008. Her personal yoga practice and journey began in 2002 after a long stint of gym workouts, when she quickly discovered that yoga was the perfect exercise for aerobic capacity, strength development, balance, increased flexibility and stress reduction. Additionally, she immediately embraced the sense of family and the friendly, open environment within the yoga community, and found yoga helped create a sense of balance in an otherwise hectic life. Over time, her yoga practice became less of an “exercise” and more a part of daily life as she gravitated towards a more meditative, mindful practice.
