Part 1 explained what Hatha Yoga is, and part 2 talked about the Relaxation and Rejuvenation benefits of Hatha Yoga.
Part 3 talks about strength. From her website:
"When you think of strength, you think first of the strength of your physical body. In yoga there is something called the koshas, the layers of your body. The densest layer is your physical body, there are much more subtle layers of your energetic body that also keep your outer body healthy and strong. When you move your physical body with the asanas, you are affecting all the layers of your body from your energetic body, to your thought body, to your emotional body to your spiritual body."
"Why do we practice strengthening our bodies in yoga? So that we can have good looking muscles? So that we can be incredibly strong physically? How strong do you need to be physically?"
"We practice strengthening postures in yoga, in my opinion, to experience strength in our physical bodies through our breath that will be translated to our energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies."
