Separate your sentence into individual thoughts.

• Hatha yoga is a great form to use.
• Hatha yoga combines spiritual and physical attributes.
• The spiritual and physical attributes could help beginners.

Your first two thoughts have the same subject, but the third thought has a different subject. So you should definitely use a comma to separate 1 and 2 from 3:

Hatha yoga is also a great form to use because it combines both spiritual and physical attributes, which could help beginners find out what they like the most.

This pause and separation allows the reader to understand that the referent of which is "spiritual and physical attributes."

If you broke your entire sentence into two, then you could separate 1 and 2 with a comma:

Hatha yoga is also a great form to use, because it combines both spiritual and physical attributes. This could help beginners find out what they like the most.

Now you're emphasizing "why hatha yoga is a great form to use."
