SUSANNA & PURAN BAIR

Today's guests are Susanna and Puran Bair, co-founders of iamHeart, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people access emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing through the transformative practice of Heart Rhythm Meditation—or HRM. Together, they've spent decades developing and teaching thisheart-centered approach, which synchronizes breath and heartbeat to create coherence in body, mind and spirit. They both studied intensively for over four decades with, and now represent, Sufi master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.

Susanna Bair is a pioneering teacher of heart-basemeditation whose work draws from over 40 years of study in psychology, the arts, and the Sufi mystical tradition. She holds a Master's in Counseling Psychology with clinical experience at the University of Vienna.

Puran Bair brings a unique blend of science and spirituality to this work. With a background in mathematics and physics, he has developed practical techniques that make ancient wisdom
both measurable and applicable to modern life. His work with Heart Rhythm Meditation includes collaborations with researchers to study the physiological effects of breath and
heart coherence.

Together, Susanna and Puran have taught thousands of
students worldwide, created the Breath & Heart app, which makes their accessible, life-enhancing practices available to people everywhere, and, they have authored four books including Living From the Heart and Energize Your Heart.
Their shared mission is to awaken the power of the heart—not just as a metaphor for love, but as a real source of vitality, insight, healing, and transformation.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
