VagalPath

Your Nervous System, Your Way

VagalPath is a guided programme based on Polyvagal Theory to help you understand, regulate, and befriend your nervous system.

What is VagalPath?

Your nervous system shapes how you experience the world — whether you feel safe and connected, anxious and on edge, or numb and shut down. VagalPath gives you the tools to notice, understand, and gently shift your state.

Choose your pace. Pick a 30, 40, or 90-day plan — or practise daily with no end date. Over 1,000 exercises guide you through breathwork, movement, nature connection, social engagement, sensory regulation, and more.

Features

1,000+ exercises across 13 categories: body, mind, nature, social, sensory, sleep, food, anger management, screen habits, pet connection, desk practices, weather attunement, and accessible alternatives
Flexible plans — 30, 40, or 90 days, or an ongoing daily practice
Three phases — Awareness, Regulation, and Integration — that build progressively
Nervous system check-ins — track your state over time and see patterns
Personal journal — reflect on each practice
100% private — all data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking

The Three States

VagalPath is built around Polyvagal Theory’s three nervous system states:

Safe & Social (Ventral Vagal) — Calm, connected, present
Fight or Flight (Sympathetic) — Anxious, restless, on edge
Shutdown (Dorsal Vagal) — Numb, disconnected, frozen

Learning to recognise which state you’re in is the first step. VagalPath helps you build a personal toolkit to move between states with awareness and compassion.

Who is it for?

VagalPath is for anyone who wants to better understand their body’s responses to the world. Whether you experience anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, emotional numbness, or simply want to deepen your self-awareness — this app meets you where you are.

Every exercise includes alternatives for different abilities and comfort levels. You can do this seated, lying down, or on the move.
