However, "Namaste" is what people say at the end of a Yoga class. I think it's some kind of blessing, but truthfully I don't really know what it means.

Are you all internet noobs??????
If in doubt, Google!
Namaste, as per Wikipedia: "'Namaste' is sometimes used in the context of practicing Yoga as a greeting or goodbye, generally taken as an expression of good will. Namaste is sometimes misinterpreted as a greeting associated with Yoga only, but it is much more widely used than that in South Asia, particularly in greeting elders. Moreover, it is used throughout Asia, especially in the context of Buddhism or Buddhist cultures, even though it is known by different names in some languages"
