The Functional Patterns method, created by Naudi Aguilar in the United States, trains the body to improve our ability to control movement in every position.
The goal of the training is not simply to exhaust you, but to help you move better — in absolutely everything you do.
It offers a deeper understanding of how the body truly organizes itself under load, impact, and rotation. You learn how tension travels through the body, how posture shapes strength, and how each part of the body interacts with the whole.
Unlike traditional Pilates apparatus work, where springs offer variable resistance, Functional Patterns uses constant resistance through its Regen Trainer equipment, allowing you to move in multiple planes of motion, exactly as the body is designed to do in daily life.
Here, exercises are performed primarily standing, in positions that reflect our natural movement patterns:
* standing posture
* gait cycle
* trunk organization and rotation
Thanks to this constant resistance, the body learns to distribute force through the kinetic chains and myofascial lines (as defined by Thomas Myers in Anatomy Trains) without adding unnecessary load.
This creates integrated, global, coherent movement, rather than isolated muscle work that fragments the body.
This approach:
✔ enriches your practice
✔ rebalances your dynamic posture
✔ prepares you for the movements of daily life
Strong Close — Why You Should Choose Functional Patterns
Functional Patterns is not a trend — it is a missing piece.
Pilates teaches you precision, control, alignment, and deep postural strength.
Functional Patterns teaches you how to apply that strength in real life: when you walk, turn, lift, reach, accelerate, or stabilize yourself against gravity.
Together, they make your body:
more organized,
more resilient,
more efficient,
more intelligent in motion.
If Pilates builds the foundation, Functional Patterns makes the foundation functional.
It transfers everything you gain in the studio into your everyday movements, your sport, your balance, and your long-term physical freedom.
Choose Functional Patterns if you want a body that doesn’t just look strong in training —
but stays strong, stable, and capable in real life, where it actually matters.
It is the bridge between training your body and living in your body with confidence.
