ice ice baby. You can go back when your ankle feels ok. It sounds like a sprain/twist. They heal faster than a break. Keep it up, if you can take an anti-inflammatory, do so. Wrap it. No running, jogging, walking, or step. You might be able to do some swimming. No yoga.
I hope you feel better soon,

You might want to get it checked out. I did the same thing about 10 years ago (I mean the exact same thing down the playing tennis part). It was OK if my foot was straight but very painful when I got off center or tried to turn it.
After a week it wasn't getting better on the sideways motion and I went to a doctor. It turns out I had a small break (x-ray). The tendon on the outside of the ankle had pulled off a piece of bone (can't remember the technical name for that type of break). They put me in an air cast for a while but would have preferred a real cast except I waited too long.
I hope yours is a simple sprain though
Good luck.

More times than I can count, but I've never actually suffered an injury from it. Definitely, ice it and rest. And go see your doctor, just in case. I went with a torn ACL for a week before I saw my doctor because it didn't really hurt that bad after the first few hours. Took a couple times "popping out" before I admitted that something didn't seem right.
