Stop Throwing Props In Just Because You Can
A 2-hour interactive and virtual workshop for Pilates instructors who want to use props with more purpose, confidence, and clarity so every prop supports the client, challenges the body, or deepens the connection.
Join Jada-Rae Poku and Frederick Ocansey live on August 2, 2026 at 12 PM EDT for a real conversation on when to prop, when to not, and how to make props actually make sense.
PROP MY SH*T
Why This Workshop Needed to Happen
Props should have a purpose.
Most instructors have been taught what props are, but not always when to use them, why they matter, or when they’re actually getting in the way.
Your clients need more than random variety.
A prop can support, challenge, connect, or completely confuse the body. This workshop helps you make smarter choices in real time so your classes feel intentional, not thrown together.
You’ll leave knowing what to do next.
You’ll walk away with clearer decision-making around when to prop, when to pull back, and how to use props to deepen the client experience without overcomplicating your teaching.
