Charles is a co-founder of Texas Yoga, which hosts the Annual Texas Yoga Retreat, featuring 25 of the best yoga teachers from around the State of Texas, and drawing over 250 students.

In addition to co-hosting this event, each year Charles teaches workshops, including The Science of Breath, and also Working with Injuries.

Charles has twice been the keynote speaker at the Seton Hospital Cardiac Conference, first speaking on The Mind/Body Connection, and the following year on Stress Management for Nurses.

In 1999 he was a panelist and presenter at the 2nd Annual Southwest Yoga Conference. He was asked to join the panel to answer questions about his work with At-Risk-Youth and with Cardiac Rehabilitation patients.

Charles brought the teenagers in so that he could demonstrate his program for the teachers. The program was a great success. For further information see Yoga for Kids.
