London:A church minister has banned an over-50s yoga group as she has deemed the exercise un-Christian. Reverend Amanda Roper of Radcliffe, Manchester , was concerned that
the tutors in the popular, gentle Indian activity - linked to Hinduism and Buddhism
- could be preaching the rival religions. And she feared the yoga group's 30 members,
aged up to 82, could be "spiritually vulnerable". Now the group - which for the
last ten years has paid 60-pound a week to meet at Bridge Methodist Church in
Radcliffe, near Manchester - is looking for new premises.
