Hatha Yoga:

Hatha Yoga is to ensure perfect health by physical and mental purification, such purification occurs by controlling the mind and body. When a man control physically and mentally he can bring harmony between body and mind.

So Hatha Yoga means maintaining the balanced energy between positive and negative energies. If we maintain the perfect balance among these positive and negative energies, the energies will kept us in perfect health.
