Father Chandler said the church was 'misled' by Withell's booking because he claimed that, at first, the hall was booked for pilates and then he found out it was also for spiritual yoga.
He said: 'Yoga is a Hindu spiritual exercise. Being a Catholic church we have to promote the gospel and that's what we use our premises for.
'We did say that yoga could not take place. It's the fact that it's a different religious practice going on in a Catholic church.
