Curious Movement offers a variety of pole and yoga workshops and classes aimed at offering unique exploration of movement.

Jess (she/her) started her pole journey in 2015 when she quickly fell head over heels for the creative outlet that it offered. Over the last decade she has trained extensively to explore artistic movement that embodies both strength and creativity. She is also an Elevated Level 1 and 2 Certified Pole Instructor. Her favorite part of pole is both the community and friendships it has led her to as well as being able to perform and help others develop their performance style.

Through her love for performing, whether in showcases or competitions, Spooky Cakes was created as a stage persona to capture her unique movement and performance style. A style that can be described by creepy eerie flows and quick dynamic movements.

Through competing, she has earned the following Pole Sport Organization placements:
2023 PSO Central – Chicago, Doubles/Groups, 1st Place
2023 PSO Great Lakes & After Dark Chicago, All Floor All Day, Level 3, 1st Place

Jess is also a certified Vinyasa Yoga Teacher. While she has always appreciated the components of yoga that can be found in pole movement, she leaned into the world of yoga heavily in 2023. Yoga and mindfulness have helped her with both chronic health conditions and in preparing for the birth of her second child in 2024.

Additionally, Jess has certifications in:
Restorative Yoga
Prenatal Yoga
Mindfulness
Mindful Eating
