This is your time.

After years of showing up on your mat and experiencing the power of yoga in your life, something within you is calling you deeper.

Yoga is no longer simply something you practice.
It is becoming a way of living, listening, relating, and awakening.

Shakti Rise was created for women who feel called toward a more embodied, devotional, and transformative relationship with yoga — whether for personal immersion, spiritual growth, or the path of teaching and leadership.

Together we will weave practice, philosophy, meditation, mantra, mythology, and feminine wisdom into a living experience of yoga that can truly support and shape your life.

I have been waiting for those ready to carry this sacred practice forward into the world.

Are you ready to take your seat?

 
 
I am a dedicated student of Jeanie’s because of her warmth, dedication to teaching women, knowledge of everything yoga, and just because I feel so inspired whenever I am in her presence. When I signed up for her teacher training, I had no idea how far beyond asana yoga goes. Meditation, mantra, pranayama and goddess lore have all become part of my practice because of Jeanie. It is truly a life changing experience.
— Anne Clare
 
 
 

If you long to take your yoga beyond the mat and into the fullness of your life...

If you seek a training rooted in the deeper wisdom of the yogic tradition — far beyond asana alone...

If you are ready to awaken your Shakti and lead from embodied feminine wisdom...

What Makes Shakti Rise Different

Practice, teaching, philosophy & embodied wisdom — woven together

Shakti Rise offers what the average training is missing: a living, embodied approach to yoga that weaves together intelligent teaching methodology, feminine wisdom, meditation, mythology, philosophy, and transformational practice.

Embodied Practice

Asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudra, and mythic embodiment through studying the wisdom and qualities of yoga’s sacred figures.

Teaching From Within

Intelligent sequencing, alignment principles, theming, cueing, teaching labs, voice development, and the art of holding space from embodied presence.

Living Philosophy

Śaiva–Śākta philosophy, mythology, archetypes, feminine wisdom, relational awareness, and yoga as a lived spiritual practice.

One of the most transformative experiences of my life.
Aside from a lifetime of instructing asana, Jeanie’s richest offering is a genuine desire to evolve within herself.
Her love and joy for the arts of yoga and meditation are truly infectious.
The program format - short intensives over 9 months - lent accessibility for completing this training as a working parent.
— Lucia

I’m Jeanie Manchester…

I’ve trained and practiced extensively in yoga asana, philosophy, and meditation for the past 35 years. I’m a E-RYT 500 Hour YA instructor and have offered numerous yoga immersions, trained over 100 amazing yoga teachers, and have hosted retreats in wondrous places all over the globe. I am a Priestess of Neelakantha Meditation Practice — the most subtle and powerful practice for those seeking depth and transformation.

I discovered yoga in my 20’s and have journeyed through many styles of yoga with great teachers like Richard Freeman and John Friend. I’m drawn to Tantric Philosophy and devoted to understanding and experiencing the Goddess energy inside. When Kundalini awakening occurs, the potent energy from within transforms from the "inside out" by literally raising all vibration. The Shri Vidya Goddess Tradition and Rajanaka Yoga greatly influenced my work. Working with the gods and goddess of yoga through mythic lore, mudra, mantra and posture have become my signature offering.

I am the founder of Anjaneya Yoga Shala in Boulder. My vinyasa classes are rooted in meditation, bhakti chant, storytelling, mantra, mudra, meditation and the art of living a daily practice on and off the mat. 

I’m a wife and proud mother of two, and understand the demands of a daily householder life with serious commitment to a spiritual journey. By raising the vibration within, I believe healing and creativity will soar and planetary upliftment will increase.

HEAR FROM PAST STUDENTS

Jeanie Manchester has been my teacher for the past 15 years. There is a reason I am drawn to her gentle guidance and continue to learn something new every time I attend a yoga class, immersion study or meditation retreat. Her sheer dedication and commitment to serving and teaching others shines through everything she does.
— Bronwyn
As someone who has a little physical disability, Jeanie is the best. She has shown me that yoga is not just physical postures, but loving kindness in emotional and spiritual ways that is so needed in the world. Her knowledge of the anatomy and physiology makes the physical aspects of the practice safe, enjoyable, and fascinating. I love her to the moon and back.
— Jeanette

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 
  • No problem! All course material will be recorded and you can make them up any time before the next workshop/live call.

  • This teacher training is like no other training that is available. You might have learned the basics of teaching in the past, with me you will learn how to truly embody myth and the Divine Feminine. You will be resourced with many additional tools, and will leave this training with a solid understanding of the Divine Feminine, ancient yogic lure, meditation practices, and tantric philosophy.

  • No. The first 100 hours are open to anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with yoga, create a more yogic lifestyle, and immerse themselves in the practices and philosophy. Many participants join as dedicated students rather than aspiring teachers.

  • In addition to training weekends, we recommend maintaining a regular yoga practice and spending some time with reading and reflection assignments. Most students invest approximately 2–6 hours per week outside of class, depending on how deeply they wish to engage.

  • If you’re unable to attend in person, joining online is a wonderful option. We carefully demonstrate practices and alignment on camera so online students can follow clearly and feel fully included. While we encourage in-person participation when possible, we have successfully supported many online students through the program.
