History

Established in 2013.

The Founder and Artistic Director Lea Marlene earned her acting chops and business savvy working in television, films, theatre and commercials in Los Angeles for twelve years. She has an extensive background in The Meisner Technique, learning from two of the best Meisner certified teachers in the country. She received her yoga certification from The American Yoga School in Santa Monica and thus Actasana was born! By teaching celebrity actors she quickly realized that the benefits of yoga can help actors relax and create great things on stage.

David Lauer, Co– founder, has 20 years experience in the film industry and Co-​Supervised the team that won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in «Life of Pi.»

David and Lea Founded Actasana on the premise that they wanted to give actors and artists of all types a well rounded way of working in todays competitive industries. They created Actasana as an artists hub for the artistic community of Denver to learn, grow and thrive!
