"Namaste" is a Sanskrit word used as a greeting or a closing, as a sign of good will and
mutual respect. We typically say "Namaste" to each other at the end of a Giving Yoga class, usually following our relaxation
phase. I think of it as a "thank you" for letting me share time with you and for your wisdom, energy, motivation, kindness,
and respect. I have always liked the simple interpretation above: "The light in me honors the light in you."
