Shakti Yoga Teacher Training
Embodied Feminine Wisdom + Womb-Centered Yoga
A 9-month initiatory journey with Jasmine Rose {300 hour certification}- begins March 2024 (annual intake) – applications open
Beloved sister, I hear your call
Are you a yoga teacher with a sense there is “something more” you’d like to offer your female students? Perhaps you feel the call to create your own women’s circle, or to weave embodied feminine wisdom into your existing offerings.
You feel it in your bones that creating sacred spaced for women is something you are here to do – whether you are wanting to enrich your existing offerings or take the leap and begin.
This 9-month online training is a deep initiatory journey; a comprehensive training in the philosophy, practice and art of facilitating sacred feminine embodiment in the form of Shakti Yoga.
Shakti Yoga is a reclamation of the female body as sacred; the harnessing of the unique power it possesses; a blessing and honouring of her wisdom, beauty and bounty 
.
This is not an ordinary Yoga Teacher Training!
This is an alchemical cauldron; an initiation into the radical path of shakti; a deeply healing and profoundly transformative journey that is interactive and personalised.
This is a journey for women with a calling to be in service to the sacred feminine and to embody and emanate their own unique transmission of feminine wisdom.
A feminine approach to yoga is medicine in a world that is thirsty for the sacred feminine energy – shakti. This is a ritual practice that is deeply honouring of the female body, emotions, cycles, intuitive wisdom and mother nature.
This is a one-of-a-kind facilitator training; a the call to be a torchbearer of feminine wisdom in your community.
A fertile container will be created within which your own seeds of potential will be nurtured, your superpowers will be unlocked.
“The female body is an asset to enlightenment – not a hindrance”

SISTERHOOD
This is an intimate and interactive container of women, and the sisterhood is one of the foundational elements of this training program.
In relationship with other women, our own shadows and gifts are revealed.
You will be paired up with one other sister during this program to meet with regularly to support and witness each other at each step along the way.
SISTERHOOD
This is an intimate and interactive container of women, and the sisterhood is one of the foundational elements of this training program.
In relationship with other women, our own shadows and gifts are revealed. You will be paired up with one other sister during this program to meet with once a month (or more often if you choose to) to support and witness each other at each step along the way.
Shakti Yoga is steeped in a lineage of yoginis – wild and wise women throughout space and time – whose grace and power permeates these ritual practices.
This training bridges the mystical and the practical, combining tantric yoga, somatic practice and priestess arts for feminine awakening through the body.
This 9-month journey is divided into seven modules. Each module weaves together words, video teachings, music (especially crafted playlists) video and audio practices, poetry and live interactive sessions. Processes, journal prompts, and at-home rituals will be provided.
In each module we will journey alongside a guiding Goddess; a distinct energy signature that we bring to life through our body.
“In Tantric understanding, the grace of the goddess is the catalytic force that arouses the powers hidden in the self.” – Sally Kempton
THE INNER JOURNEY
Knowing yourself deeply and embodying the teachings are the keys to what makes an excellent facilitator of this work. This journey is a deepening of your own inner unfoldment through engaging with the practices and enquiries that are offered at each step along the way.
This requires a true devotion and dedication to your practice, trust in the journey and a leaning in to the support that will be readily available for you during these 9 months.
The path of the feminine is one of constantly surrendering to the Mystery and being reborn anew.
This journey is about being authentically you and sharing the unique medicine that YOU have to bring. There are women longing for what you have to offer!
The 9-month duration of this program is very intentional to allow all of the learnings to truly seep in and be integrated as you unveil more of who you are, and of course to birth yourself as a facilitator of this sacred women’s work.
The three phases of this journey (which are more spiralling than they are linear) are:
Empty
Disentangling from masculine-oriented spirituality and patriarchal conditioning and opening to the feminine mysteries. Personal healing, creating space and clearing the way to be a conduit for creation.
For each skin we shed, more of who we are is revealed.
Embody
Awakening the energy of the feminine within you and embodying your unique essence and expression of her.
Grounding the teachings deeply in your body as you create a solid container through which shakti can flow elegantly and gracefully.
Emanate
This phase is about being in service and sharing your gifts with the world in the way you are most inspired to and in alignment with your soul’s essence.
What Women Say
“Thanks to this training I discovered a new path of devotion that truly softens me and magically transforms my being into radiance.”
“The Shakti Yoga Teacher Training is deeply transformative on every single level. It helped me to love all the aspects of myself that had been suppressed and forgotten, I released years of conditioning helping me to feel confident, cherish my sensuality, and allow myself to be seen.
With daily practice, I brought my awareness back into my womb, my heart and my senses and I started noticing different subtle sensations awakening in my body. It helped me to experience my body and everything I do and say as sacred.
I noticed a big shift in my relationships, the quality, depth and fulfilment of my interactions with others as I became more present. Thanks to this training I discovered a new path of devotion that truly softens me and magically transforms my being into radiance. Jasmine Rose, thank you for transmitting the Divine feminine path with grace and delight.”
“This was the best training for bringing out the ‘inner teacher’ in me. It feels very rewarding sharing these ancient practices with women in my community.”
“I’m so glad I took the leap of faith into teacher training! It has impacted my life immensely. I entered not believing in myself as a teacher. This is the first time I’ve stepped into a holding space for a group of women. This was the best training for bringing out the ‘inner teacher’ in me. It feels very rewarding sharing these ancient practices with women in my community.
Jasmine holds a wonderful safe space. I felt well supported and held the entire nine months. The training material is thorough and detailed and I love the accountability that’s weaved throughout. I thoroughly recommend this training to any woman who is called to learn and grow into being embodied within the sacred and divine feminine practices that is Shakti Yoga.”
“For me, this 9-month initiatory journey into feminine embodiment was a rite of passage”
“For me, this 9-month initiatory journey into feminine embodiment was a rite of passage: from naïve maiden to strong, mature, embodied woman. The grace of Shakti pulsating as I spiralled deeper into relationship with myself, my body, and my womb.
There was so much transformational alchemy as I was held with tenderness and love from Jasmine as our guiding North Star, walking the path before us. There were so many aspects of this course I loved. Committing and devoting myself to a daily Shakti Sadhana, and the magical unfolding in perfect sequence of the seven portals. I also loved the journal enquiry with Jasmine intuitively knowing what questions to ask us to fully embody this yogini wisdom.
Jasmine always encouraged us to stay true to ourselves, infusing our authentic expression into our teaching. This was true bliss for my heart and womb! All was held at a pace that allowed us to truly savour the nectar of Shakti as she danced in the background with her all-embracing presence. I can’t recommend this training enough – listen to your body’s YES and apply!”
“The Shakti Yoga Teacher Training felt like a coming home to myself.”
“The Shakti Yoga Teacher Training felt like a coming home to myself. Jasmine held space so beautifully for us to shed and descend into depths of inner knowing and to revel in our true power as women. This training is not only groundbreaking as embodiment and yoga training, it truly offers a whole package of learning and growth all the while giving women permission to move and grow in our own ways, which are rooted in the ancient ways of the Feminine.
Jasmine clearly poured so much heart and soul into this training and it is evident with every single offering included. I relisten and rewatch regularly and will continue to do so. I could talk all day about this training and Jasmine and highly recommend to any woman to be ready to jump in with the mess and beauty of the Goddess. Know that you will come out different than you go in, as is the beautiful alchemy of true descent.”

What Women Say
“This is a deep and exquisite dive that rouses Grace and infuses your life and every cell with shakti.”
This is so much more than a training – it is a shamanic journey. The 9 month container allowed for a deep coming home to self. The practice is so powerful and having the components broken down and delivered within a framework that is so beautifully laid out. Feeling Shakti, energy, the pulse and movement of life, and stepping into Her stream, has been a profound undertaking.This is a deep and exquisite dive that rouses Grace and infuses your life and every cell with shakti. I’ve been initiated into a different way of feeling and seeing. I know it is such a blessing and I am so excited for other women to take this journey and be offering the fruits back into the world.”
“I am so grateful for this training as it has allowed for the deepest essence of myself to unfold and flourish.”
“Shakti yoga is the most sensual, liberating yoga you’ll ever experience. This 9 month container holds you in the most profound womb space, a gestation journey of cultivating and embodying Shakti, which rebirths you at the end a more confident more authentic version of yourself. Jasmine’s artful and eloquent transmissions along with the rituals and practices evokes such profound self love and reverence. Everything about this course is juicy and dripping with rasa! This isn’t just a training, it’s a healing on all levels. It helps you integrate every aspect of your being to live a life of authenticity and ecstasy.

What Women Say
“Jasmine is a way-shower for women who long to dive into their depths and drink from the deep well of sisterhood. She creates space for women to show up and be seen, heard and held in every inch of their authentic self, to (re)discover all the parts that have been neglected or never acknowledged. Jasmine is a warrior-ess of divine Shakti force who empowers women to reclaim and relish in their soft, wild, unapologetic pleasure state.”
“Stepping inside Jasmine’s virtual yoga temple definitely exceeded my expectations. The whole experience from start to finish was rich and deep, not to mention organised and professional – I felt lovingly held and looked after the whole time. Jasmine lives, breathes and embodies Shakti Yoga. Her yoga instruction and her knowledge of the body and the womb is clear and grounded. I absolutely loved learning from her and being in her presence – her passion and embodiment are obvious and such a joy to receive.”
“Jasmine is a living breathing modern-day sacred temple of love, beauty, wisdom, grace – a sensual feast of a woman – ready to serve us – lucky us. There is such a rare exquisiteness in Jasmine’s presence; a grounded, trustworthy, loving, steady grace. To feel embodied shakti, woman soft and powerful, fluid and strong, really has an impact. A resonance. Thank you. I look forward to more and am so inspired to deepen into my female body and uncover the exquisite jewels within!”
“Energy doesn’t lie and it’s easy to see that Jasmine is a powerful embodiment and ambassador of the Divine Shakti essence. I found her to be the perfect guide to lead me deeper into the myriad aspects of my core feminine and reconnect with my desire, my sensuality, my body wisdom and pleasure. Jasmine’s guidance, wisdom and energetic presence provide a key code for women who are looking to re-enter the secret chambers of their innate abundance and experience the ecstatic presence within their bodies, that has been laying as dormant potential, Waiting for that time of awakening.”

(Pricing TBC – not included in tuition fees)
devotion to practice
This program calls for a shakti sadhana – a devoted and consistent practice of connection to the divine feminine through the body – specific practices will be offered as a focus for each month.
You are committing to a dedicated daily practice (minimum 10 minutes) and at least one longer practice session each week (minimum 45 minutes), and to keep a log of your practice.
In addition, to complete the certification, you will be required to:
▽ Submit practice log monthly (a template will be provided)
▽ Participation in minimum 8/9 live teaching calls & 8/9 practice calls. Opening and closing circle participation is essential.
▽ Complete the monthly videos (in our portal and the live sessions), reading materials and journal prompts

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
▽ You a yoga teacher with a sense there is “something more” you’d like to offer your female students.
▽ The classical yoga paths never fully resonated with you and you are longing for a more feminine approach
▽ You feel the call to host your own women’s circles, or to weave embodied feminine wisdom into your existing client work, one on one or in groups.
▽ You are not only willing but EXCITED to meet yourself more deeply than before and to uncover more of your essence
▽ You are naturally drawn to or already have a relationship with the Goddess/ Sacred Feminine/Divine Mother aspect of the divine
▽ You embrace technology and are not intimidated by the physical distance between the sisters in the circle -it excites you to expand and connect with women around the world
▽ You understand that the path of the Feminine is not all light and love – and are aware and willing to to meet and dance with your own shadows – this is integral to this work!
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
▽ You don’t have the time or willingness to carve out the time for a regular Shakti Yoga practice and the requirements of this course – the embodiment of these teachings through regular and devoted practice is essential
▽ You have no prior experience (either personal practice or teaching) of yoga and/or embodiment practice
▽ You prefer to focus on “love and light” rather than get down and dirty with shadow work. The Feminine path is a path of Descent – much can get churned up as we dive deep and strip back the old and outdated programs in relation to what it is to be “feminine”. This is not always comfortable and can sometimes demand we make changes – inwardly and outwardly – to align with who we are (un)becoming
▽ You’d prefer to do it alone – in addition to your personal study and practice, this training is interactive, and a big part of the learning happens through sharing – both in our interactive live calls, our online group, and in your sister sharing calls. This enriches the training profoundly!
Note: Shakti Yoga and the practices and process we engage with in this training we are incredibly supportive for unravelling trauma from the body, but it is not a replacement for therapy. Apprentices are encouraged to concurrently work with a qualified therapist to support with anything that might be unearthed during this journey.
A message from Jasmine:
This training is 9 months, because this work is deeply entwined with the rhythms of the earth, and the rhythms of woman.
The content goes deep.
The transmissions are rich.
The program is thorough.
I want us to ANCHOR in this body of work, through our bodies.
To relish, savour and truly absorb what is being shared.
AND to understand the deeper workings of WHY we do what we do in Shakti Yoga.
To have space to properly integrate and actually PRACTICE the teachings.
To deeply root in exploration and embodied enquiry.
And to feel RIPE and ready to share this work at the end of the program.
Because this is what makes a powerful and embodied facilitator. The kind who makes ripples with her presence.
This is for women who are truly ready to make a big commitment to themselves and this planet.
Is that you???

FAQ’S
Frequently Asked Questions:
I’d love to join the program for my own personal development but I’m not sure if I will become a teacher – can I still join?
Although the program is designed for women who feel a calling to share this work (in your own unique way), the foundation of the program is deepening into your own embodiment practice and understanding the philosophy that underpins this practice. There’s a good chance you will feel naturally inclined to share this work at the end of the program, regardless of any hesitations that might be present for you now! You are still welcome to apply by setting up a connection call with Jasmine.
Do I have to be a yoga teacher to apply?
No, although it is required that you have or have had a regular yoga practice for a minimum of 2 years and/or related experience/training. If you don’t have a Yoga Teaching or related certificate (e.g. Pilates, Personal Training or Remedial Massage) you will be required to complete an additional 20 hours anatomy and physiology course. Please apply and Jasmine will set up a call with you to determine whether the course is right for you.
Does this program count towards continuing hours with Yoga Alliance or similar?
This is a radical feminine groundbreaking program that lives a little ‘outside the box’ compared to what is widely available in the realm of Yoga, and is therefore not affiliated with Yoga Alliance or similar. Shakti Yoga School is an approved training provider with the International Institute of Complementary Therapies, and all graduates who meet the requirements of this training can access insurance through the IICT.
ELIGIBILITY & HOW TO APPLY
If you are feeling inspired to join the next Shakti Yoga Teacher Training, please take the next step by filling in this application form. Jasmine will get in touch with you upon reading your application to set up a call over Zoom if your application is successful.
It is expected that you have existing experience with yoga or related feminine embodiment practice, a desire to dive deeply into this work and a willingness to commit to the requirements of the program. Most important of all is resonance, and a deep and heartfelt calling to take part!
Please note that those without a Yoga Teaching Certification will be required to complete an additional 20 hours Anatomy and Physiology course at their own expense. If you are a Personal Trainer, Pilates Teacher, Remedial Massage therapist or similar, you may already have the required Anatomy and Physiology pre-requisite.
