How to offset/shift a Pandas Dataframe into another year?

I have the following 15 minute data as a dataframe for 3 years. With the first two columns being the index.

2014-01-01 00:15:00  1269.6      
2014-01-01 00:30:00  1161.6      
2014-01-01 00:45:00  1466.4      
2014-01-01 01:00:00  1365.6      
2014-01-01 01:15:00  1362.6      
2014-01-01 01:30:00  1064.0      
2014-01-01 01:45:00  1171.2      
2014-01-01 02:00:00  1171.0      
2014-01-01 02:15:00  1330.4      
2014-01-01 02:30:00  1309.6      
2014-01-01 02:45:00  1308.4      
2014-01-01 03:00:00  1494.0 

I would like to offset/shift the data into the previous year so that 2014-01-01 00:15:00 1269.6 will be converted into 2013-01-01 00:15:00 1269.6 .

I have used df = df.shift(-1, freq='15min') to shift the dataframe 15 mins into the past but would not like to offset/shift by the number of 15min intervals as this might cause errors in leap years and with clock changes.

Does anyone have a smooth solution for this?
