Polyvagal Institute
the art and science of human connection
Polyvagal Institute is a not-for-profit dedicated to creating a new paradigm for health and wellness. We provide training, support community and facilitate research centered around a revolutionary understanding of the body and mind, as presented in the work of Stephen Porges and Polyvagal Theory.

What is Polyvagal Theory?
We're glad you asked...
To help newcomers to PVT, we asked some experienced polyvagalists from a variety of disciplines how they explain it and we compiled their responses into this short video which ends with Dr. Porges himself giving us a brief summary.
As in the parable of the 5 blind men and the elephant, we hope that these different perspectives will, collectively, give you a more complete sense of what Polyvagal Theory is and why it's more important than ever in today's world.
