Life & Career Coach
Personal & Professional Development
through Coaching, Mindfulness & Yoga
How can I support you?
I'm Erisa Taraj, a Life & Career Coach specializing in personal and professional development, and a Yoga Lecturer and Instructor based in Florence.
With a multidisciplinary background spanning higher education, coaching and yoga, I bring together diverse perspectives to support sustainable personal and professional development.
I help individuals, groups and organizations navigate change with greater clarity, strengthen self-awareness, build resilience, and achieve meaningful growth.
Today, alongside my coaching practice, I teach yoga at the European University Institute (EUI) and the Lorenzo de' Medici Institute, working with an international community of students, researchers and professionals.
Before dedicating myself to coaching and teaching, I spent several years working in European affairs in Brussels.
My approach combines coaching, soft skills, mindfulness, breathing and yoga techniques to create tailored experiences that respond to the unique goals and challenges of each individual or group. Whether I am facilitating a coaching session, leading a workshop or teaching a class, my aim is to create a supportive environment where meaningful learning, self-discovery and lasting transformation can take place.
If you are ready to take that step, I would be delighted to support you in creating meaningful and lasting change.

“I have been doing vinyasa yoga with Erisa for 1.5 years by now and I can wholeheartedly recommend her! Erisa's classes have a unique way of combining mindfulness and physical effort. She guides us in stretching and strengthening our body, whilst at the same time nurturing our soul. Erisa really manages to create a warm, welcoming environment for everyone. Throughout the class, she offers different kinds of options for beginners and more experienced yogis, so that everyone can adapt the practice to their own needs and limits. I am looking forward to her classes every week and can only encourage others to start practicing with Erisa, it is a wonderful experience!”

Mi sono trovata benissimo con Erisa! Il percorso con lei è stato utile ed illuminante. È andato più in profondità di quanto pensassi, facendo luce sulle radici delle difficoltà che riscontro da tempo nel tentativo di cambiare lavoro. Oltre ad essere competente, Erisa è anche molto piacevole e disponibile; mi sono sentita sempre a mio agio condividendo i miei pensieri e le mie preoccupazioni con lei, ed ha facilitato enormemente la mia riflessione sulle possibili scelte di carriera, aiutandomi ad acquisire più fiducia nelle mie competenze e a smettere di giudicare le mie passioni più vere. La consiglierei a chiunque, grazie di cuore!

Professional coaching
Erisa è una coach molto preparata, empatica e capace di creare subito un clima di fiducia e motivazione. Nel mio ruolo di Store Manager mi ha aiutata a sviluppare maggiore consapevolezza, sicurezza e gestione dello stress, con un approccio concreto ma allo stesso tempo molto umano.
Ho apprezzato particolarmente la sua capacità di ascoltare senza giudizio e di adattare il percorso alle mie esigenze personali e professionali.
La consiglio sinceramente a chi cerca una professionista competente, autentica e capace di fare davvero la differenza nel proprio percorso di crescita personale e lavorativa.
