    Opening & Welcome

    0:00

    Blythe: Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized episode from BeFreed-I'm Blythe, and honestly, I'm practically bouncing in my seat because we're diving into something that's been fascinating me lately!

    0:12

    Lena: And I'm Lena, and I have to say, Blythe's enthusiasm is absolutely contagious today. We're exploring the beautiful world of Hatha yoga-what it really is, what sets it apart from all those other yoga styles flooding Instagram, and how to truly master teaching it.

    0:27

    Blythe: Right? I mean, everyone thinks they know what Hatha yoga is, but when you really start digging into it, there's so much more depth than just "the slow yoga class." We're going to unpack all of that today, aren't we?
