Charles (shown at left in revolving triangle) is one of the best known yoga teachers in Texas, and regularly presents at conferences around the country. He has studied Yoga and Meditation since 1971 and teaches classes on Yoga, Meditation, Posture, Visualization, Breathing, Balance, Creativity, Concentration, Pratyahara, Chakras, Raja Yoga, and biofeedback for a variety of conferences, businesses, corporations, Universities and institutions.

He has worked with over 14,000 students in Austin and from around the country. He is also co-founder of the Living Yoga Teacher Training Program, and the Texas Yoga Retreat. Since 1993 Charles has led over 45 Yoga retreats including 15 international retreats.

Charles is best known for his gentle, patient and caring approach to students, his ability to create a safe space and encourage students to turn inwards to find their own inner teacher. He has an amazing depth of knowledge on a wide range of topics, which he weaves into his teaching. He is a gifted speaker, at once both funny and thoughtful. He can take a complex subject and relate it to students' own experiences in such as way as to make it clear and easily understood.

Each year, Charles invites at least one and often as many as three Yoga teachers from around the world, to assist with teaching at his retreats. This allows for more personal attention for students.

In February of 2000 Charles was assisted by Lois Burton, an Ashtanga/Hatha Yoga teacher from London, and by Mikki Doyel, an Iyengar teacher who lives and teaches in Mexico. In the picture shown above, Lois (Lu) is on the bottom left, Mikki bottom right and Charles on top.

This year Charles will be assisted by Gwen Bell, who owns a yoga studio in Yokohama Japan called Yoga Garden.
