Camryn “Cam” Dirkes first came to yoga through the “high school athlete to yoga pipeline.” A record-holding athlete, she joined her teacher one early morning for practice and walked out feeling better than she ever had after moving her body. What began as a workout quickly revealed itself as something deeper - supporting her physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Cam is a graduate of the Grace & Glory School of Yoga Teacher-Leader Development Program and is currently a student at the University of Georgia, studying accounting while also pursuing her passions in art and yoga. She is known locally for her athletic accomplishments, but equally celebrated for her artistry: she is the resident artist at Grace & Glory Yoga. In 2024, Cam partnered with Grace & Glory to launch a collaborative yoga clothing line for kids and adults, featuring her beloved characters. Her illustrations are inspired by her yoga practice and are used at GGY’s Annual Kids Yoga Fest to help children understand their feelings, learn emotional regulation, self-leadership and see that yoga is about more than pretzel-like poses - it’s also about kindness, creativity, and community.

In her teaching, Cam leads with authenticity: no masks, no performances. Students can expect classes that balance power with ease, challenge with fun - and, most importantly, her infectious laugh and magnetic lightness, which encourage people to stay for the breakthrough moments.

Outside the studio, Cam is endlessly curious and creative: she loves baking, cooking, crunching numbers, drawing, painting, playing basketball, pickleball, and occasionally dusting off her saxophone. Yes - we said saxophone... Whether in New Jersey or Georgia, she continues to rep the Grace & Glory community with pride.

Her anchor philosophies: “Work hard and be kind to people” and “Begin again… and again… and again.”
