I am Marusya Price. I am an English teacher, blogger and resource creator.
I believe that every student carries something authentic that is waiting to be recognised and the role of a teacher is to help release it.
I am interested in Applied Positive Psychology and how it could be used by educators to empower their students.
The lesson plans and visualizations that I create explore topics such as happiness, mindfulness, motivation, and compassion, to name but a few.

The book “101 activities to teach English mindfully” includes my students’ favourite mindful exercises divided in the following sections:
*Mindful Breathing
*Visualisations
*Wake up the Senses
*Expressing Gratitude
*The Power of Kindness
*The Power of Positivity
*Reading Activities
*Creative Activities
*Miscellaneous
The publication is suitable for all English/EFL teachers who are eager to introduce mindfulness in their classes. I have also described the principles of mindfulness and why they are beneficial for our students. So even if you are not familiar with mindful teaching, you are covered. The activities are fun, engaging and are appropriate for both traditional and online lessons.
In order for this book to be beneficial to you at its best, I have included a few personal stories as well as links to other resources which could be used as follow-up exercises. In addition, you will find eight extra worksheets which you will need for some of the activities. And I have a special treat for you. I have decided to share five of my students’ favourite mindful lesson plans.
“101 activities to teach English mindfully” is dedicated to all my students who showed me their vulnerability, anxiety and emotional pain. I’m truly grateful to them for allowing me to use my meditations, visualisations and other mindful techniques in our lessons. Their positive feedback as well as being able to witness their inner light shine brightly have inspired me to learn and grow as a mindful English teacher and create empowering resources.
The bundle consists of 3 plans which utilise mindfulness tools:
Lesson 1- At Santa’s Workshop
A visualization-based lesson plan for young learners which aims to improve their listening, speaking and writing skills.
Lesson 2- Give a Little Love
A lesson plan for young learners which features a mindful activity to help students focus. The students will practise their speaking and listening skills. They’ll also need to put on their creative hat for a collaborative task.
Lesson 3- On Christmas Eve
A visualization-based lesson plan for teens and adults (levels B1 and B2) which involves all their skills. It also teaches students to be kind and compassionate.
