Ventral: Polyvagal Breathing vVARY

Regulate your nervous system, release stored trauma, and find safety in your body.

Ventral is the first AI-powered breathing coach built entirely on Polyvagal Theory and somatic science. While other apps just track time, Ventral understands your biology. It adapts in real-time to guide you out of "fight-or-flight" and into a state of calm, connection, and safety.

Whether you are managing PTSD, C-PTSD, panic attacks, or chronic burnout, Ventral helps you retrain your vagus nerve for long-term emotional resilience.

🧠 POLYVAGAL THEORY MEETS AI Your nervous system changes every day. Your breathwork should too. Ventral uses advanced AI to:

Detect your state: Identify if you are in sympathetic (anxious/fight-or-flight) or dorsal vagal (shutdown/freeze).

Adapt the pace: Real-time adjustments to ensuring you never feel overwhelmed.

Build Vagal Tone: Exercises scientifically proven to improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and nervous system flexibility.

🌬️ SCIENCE-BACKED SOMATIC EXERCISES Move beyond basic meditation. Access a library of clinically-informed techniques designed for specific nervous system states:

Coherent Breathing: 5-6 breaths/min to synchronize heart and brain.

Extended Exhale: Immediately activate the parasympathetic "brake."
