Bones & Folklore: A 300-Hour Teacher Training
Studio Partner & Affiliate Program
The Bones & Folklore program is a 300-hour teacher training, fully accredited by Yoga Alliance, that is 100% virtual, available all over the world, and unique in its purpose and mission. In Bones & Folklore, participants learn to weave the art of storytelling with embodiment, sacred gesture, body prayer, guided visualization, dreamwork, Celtic and Tantric subtle body systems, and archetypal wisdom. Written and delivered by Danielle Dulsky, Bones & Folklore resources participants in finding their personal myths in this life and shaping the delivery of their sacred work in this world accordingly. Together with co-teachers Ruchi Jain and Shine Blackhawk, we will begin an enchanting kinship in 2025 as we circle ‘round our shared hearth, learn to move, breathe, and see in story, and name the old tales our most beloved teacher.
As a fully virtual program, Bones & Folklore is open to anyone from all over the world. In 2025, we are creating a small network of studio partners, witch shops, and other affiliates who resonate with the program’s philosophy. Our affiliates earn $500 for each registrant who applies and is accepted into the program with a $100 bonus for any referred registrants who opt for dual enrollment with the House of Night ritual training program. The affiliate program is a way to significantly supplement revenue, increase visibility through social media collaborations, and offer your community a comprehensive training program that aligns with your business’ vision, as the world turns and churns in 2025.
“Our dreams are small stories, night visions of what has been and what will be, healing ceremonies of meeting monsters and inviting them to teach us what they know. Our sacred work in this aching world is a living dream, an older-than-ancient love story between our souls- the original blueprint of who we are- and our spirits- the cosmic pulse connecting us to all things. As we move from the once-upon-a-time to the ever-after in this life, we seek to embody narrative meaning for this story we are living, for our shared folktale set on this blue-green rock called Earth.”
For Witch Shops, Bookstores, and Other Retail or Community Spaces
Though Bones & Folklore is a fully accredited yoga teacher training, registrants do not need to be current or aspiring yoga teachers. The curriculum is structured so participants can integrate the tools of archetypal body prayer (yogic kriyas), storytelling, writing, and ritual into their life and work, taking what resonates with them and leaving out anything that misaligns with their tradition or worldview. Though this is a professional program that certifies teachers to facilitate this work, Bones & Folklore can be taken entirely for personal development purposes.
Danielle Dulsky has designed and delivered professional yoga teacher training, ritual facilitator trainings, word-witchery and book-writing intensives, and mythic witchcraft programs for 15 years; she is skilled at meeting participants where they are, tending to the spirit of the group as a whole, and shaping the programs’ content as an invitation to explore story, spell, and movement curiously, without expectation and through the eyes of the wise innocent, the spontaneous, laughing mystic within us all. Due to the time-intensive, virtual, and comprehensive 300-hour training curriculum, most witch-shops, bookstores, and retail-oriented venues do not find that Bones & Folklore conflicts with other offerings to their community. If a shop, for example, invites participants to explore Bones & Folklore by placing a short listing in their newsletter and consequently 10 people are successfully referred to the training, the affiliate shop would receive $5000 for the 10 referrals. If 30 people are successfully referred, the shop receives $15,000. There is no additional work required on your part beyond the referral process, and your valuable retail space will not be physically occupied due to the virtual structure of Bones & Folklore which frees your time and venue for other meaningful offerings.
For Yoga Studios
As a studio partner who may already deliver an accredited 200-hour teacher training, the Bones & Folklore program is a fully accredited 300-hour program that can allow graduates of your 200-hour program to continue their professional development and, upon program completion, register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-500. This allows studios to provide and earn income from a 300-hour training without investing the considerable time and money in pursuing accreditation for the advanced program. If you, for instance, have 30 graduates from your 200-hour program, successfully refer them to Bones & Folklore through the studio partner program, you would receive $15,000 for these 30 referrals. There is no additional work required on your part beyond the referral process, and your valuable studio space will not be physically occupied due to the virtual structure of Bones & Folklore which frees your time and venue for other meaningful offerings. Additionally, Danielle Dulsky’s yoga trainings through the Living Mandala School of Yoga carry an exceptional rating of 4.94 (out of 5) stars on Yoga Alliance, so you can trust the program’s delivery.
