Octaband LLC

Octaband LLC Octaband is a colorful, fun interactive tool which promotes physicality, individual self-expression and community-building.

The Octaband® provides a visual representation of each person as an individual and an integral member of a group. I was motivated to create the Octaband® to address the needs of a specific group of older adults with dementia whose cognitive, physical and social challenges kept them isolated. The sensory features of the Octaband® stimulated and inspired them to engage, move together and look at one

another across the circle. It is the uniqueness of each one of us and our connection to a larger whole that is manifested in the image of the Octaband® - a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, a whole that bubbles up with synergy. This wholeness represents the inherent potential of health and well-being of each of the participants.

Here at Pine Grove, we love starting our mornings with movement and smiles! ☀️💪

One of our favorite ways to work out is using our octa-band, turning exercise into a fun and engaging game. The goal? Keep the balloon right in the middle! 🎈

It gets everyone moving, laughing, and working together while improving strength, coordination, and focus. We truly love every minute of it and never miss a beat when it comes to staying active and having fun together.

Morning workouts like these remind us that fitness can be joyful, social, and something we all look forward to each day.

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.
