THE POLYVAGAL THEORY
Basic module: principles and practice
The organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory
and the practice allowing its daily application
“The nervous system is the common denominator of our human experience. »
Deb Dana (from The Beginner's Guide)
Polyvagal Theory, to make friends with your autonomic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system is our personal surveillance system, constantly vigilant to ensure our safety. It constantly assesses safety and risk levels, carefully monitoring our bodies, our environment and our social relationships. Its purpose is to protect us by staying tuned into what is happening at every moment.
Polyvagal Theory (PVT), developed by neuroscientist Stephen Porges, examines the role of the autonomic nervous system in regulating our physiological and emotional reactions. According to Deb Dana, Polyvagal Theory is the science of how to feel safe enough to fall in love with life and take the risk of living.
In recent years, neuroscience research has fundamentally changed our understanding of the psychological, physiological, emotional, and social impact of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and chronic stress on individuals.
LEARN HOW TO APPLY POLYVAGAL THEORY IN YOUR LIFE
Polyvagal Theory brings us a new understanding of how the autonomic nervous system works, giving us a different perspective on well-being and a framework for explore how experience shapes the nervous system and what pathways can lead to healing.
This workshop presents the organizational principles of Polyvagal Theory as well as practices allowing its daily application. All teaching modules were recorded with Deb Dana.
This program is a excellent introductory module to POS for any curious person or professional wishing to explore the key principles of Polyvagal Theory and discover how to integrate them into their practice.
The main areas covered by this program are:
- The three organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory (Neuroception, Hierarchy, Co-regulation),
- The vagal brake,
- The social engagement system and basic skills to befriend the nervous system and coach clients to do the same.
Integrate the principles of Polyvagal Theory into your daily life for better emotional regulation and to move towards greater well-being and calm.
With this introductory module, you will:
- Learn to describe the autonomous hierarchy.
- Familiarize yourself with the function of the vagus brake.
- Succeeding in applying a polyvagal vision in everyday life.
- Understand and describe the co-regulation pathways of the social engagement system.
- Identify the body's responses, behaviors, emotions, and beliefs for each autonomic state.
- Understand and be able to discuss the process of neuroception.
- Create a personal profile map.
- Listen to stories from different states.
- Create ventral vagal anchors.
- Becoming polyvagal-informed.
“She guides us, through simple exercises, to understand our autonomic nervous system and become its friend, engaging its healing abilities to connect us with ourselves and with our social environment.”
Dr. Gabor Maté, author of Addictions, those insatiable ghosts

A program of the Polyvagale Institute
Le Polyvagal Institute (PVI) is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Randall Redfield, and Karen Onderko. The institute is dedicated to disseminating the work of Dr. Stephen Porges, creator of the Polyvagal Theory.
“Our mission is to advance communication and connection by building community, facilitating research, improving the quality of care, and providing education on this new understanding of the body-mind system that Polyvagal Theory offers. We believe we can make changes at both the individual and societal levels: as individuals, we improve our communication and become more compassionate because we understand how human connections are formed, and as a society, we can embrace this new paradigm in care and support, whether in hospitals, schools, or at home.”
Quantum Way is the official French-speaking partner of the Polyvagal Institute and offers numerous training courses approved and validated by Dr Stephen Porges.
