Yoga teacher Norah Graham, who has held yoga classes in the area for about 20 years, said she was both offended and "a bit surprised" by the comments.
'Over the top'
She said she had spoken to Fr O'Baoill about the issue before and he had put an "embargo" on the advertising of yoga classes, so she was aware that he did not approve.
However, the yoga teacher said the strength of Fr O'Baoill's latest comments had come as a surprise and said she felt his remarks were "over the top".
Ms Graham, who is also a retired secondary school teacher, said she was not a particularly religious person.
She said the handful of people who regularly attended her yoga lessons had "their own beliefs" and religion played no part in her classes.
Ms Graham added that the practice of yoga in Western countries was now "largely divorced" from religious associations.
