STUDIO OWNER

As a lifelong ballet dancer and anatomy nerd, the practice of yoga has always been deeply fascinating to Dayna! In 2018, she decided to pursue yoga teacher training (ShambhavAnanda Yoga 200hr YTT at Whole Yoga in Denver) with the intention of bringing different training & conditioning methods to her dance students. Little did she know this would spark the beginning of a deeply spiritual journey! She has since taught over 1300 yoga classes at various yoga studios, fitness centers, dance studios, nursing homes, and middle schools. Dayna received her 500hr YTT through MyVinyasaPractice in 2023, and has also studied yin yoga, biology, functional medicine, mat pilates, and personal training. In her free time, Dayna enjoys learning new skills, exploring new ways to move, playing video games, or enjoying a cup of tea with her cats or partner. 

Dayna managed Yogi Colorado for its first three years of operation, and is excited to be back as the new owner of the studio. She loves holding space for authentic & inclusive yoga classes for all who visit the space! No matter your background or walk of life, we are excited to welcome you to the Yogi Colorado community!

VINYASA TEACHER

Corey McAninch has been a student of yoga since 2005. Nearly two decades later, she answered the quiet calling of her heart and completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2025. She felt so called back to her authentic self during the first training that she is continuing her teachings and is currently enrolled in a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training as well. What began as a personal practice has evolved into a heartfelt mission: to guide others on their own journey of self-discovery through the sacred practice of yoga.

Corey believes yoga is far more than movement—it's a path back to ourselves. She is passionate about creating a space where students can cultivate a deeper connection to body, mind, and spirit while rediscovering the wisdom that already lives within.

Her classes are inspired by wisdom story-telling and the living wisdom and untamed intelligence of nature that flows through each of us. She believes we are not separate from the natural world, but are expressions of it—a unique microcosm of the universe itself. Through intentional movement, conscious breath, and mindful presence, students are invited to remember their innate rhythm, awaken their inner landscape, and reconnect with their truest essence.

Unroll your mat, return to your breath, and journey home to your own true nature.
