Last night, Will Blunderfield, one of my Artists to Watch in Vancouver and favourite yoga instructors, officially released his music to the world. While he shares his voice in all his classes, Will took to the stage in front of the lululemon on Robson street with some yogi dancers and Danielle Mika Nagel to celebrate the launch of his first official album. And boy did it launch!
His yoga-inspired-pop music had the crowd of people finding their hearts’ centers, breathing deep (in between cheers), and singing hallelujah at the top of their lungs. It was a completely unique experience – and 100% Will. The crowd of totally awesome people definitely helped as well.
Earlier this year, I got to be a part of Will’s “Shake Your Asana Choir” and go into the studio with him to record some vocals for his CD.
Catching us all of guard, he called us up last night to sing “The River” – one of my favourite songs on his album. It was one of those moments in life when you just have to go with what is thrown at ya. (It’s also hard to say no when someone calls you to the stage in front of a hundred people…)
And then he sang:
There is a river that I’ve discovered
If flows downstream to everything I desire
I paddled so hard against the current, I did not know
That all I needed was to let the oars go and just flow… Never knew what I had until I looked around
Once I began to feel grateful it was you I found
Lessons learned, bridges crossed to get to where you are
Let’s lose ourselves in this moment, we’ve come so far… I know it’s hard to realize this truth
The change you’ve wanted
Starts with you!
Thank you Will for an always inspiring experience. And congrats. You kick some serious asana.
