Polyvagal Institute is not just another place to learn about Polyvagal Theory—we are its founding home. Our co-founders include Dr. Stephen Porges, PhD, who developed the theory, and Deb Dana, LCSW, who brought it into clinical practice, ensuring our work is grounded in the original science and its real-world application.
What that means for our community of global learners:
• Direct access to source-based knowledge
• The most accurate, up-to-date education on Polyvagal Theory and the vagus nerve
• Educational offerings shaped by the theory’s originators and leading practitioners
• A global network committed to integrity, depth, and ongoing discovery
As interest in the nervous system and vagus nerve continues to expand, we remain dedicated to offering education that is not only accessible—but precise, nuanced, and deeply informed.
This is where the work began—and where it continues to evolve.
