What Causes Popping Sound Behind The Knee Followed By Mild Pain?

Began an exercise class today,(step class), and within five minutes, I felt something pop or tear behind my left knee. I then left, came home and began icing and taking Advil. Don t know what happened. No pain when lying down, seems to hurt a bit when I walk around or go down stairs.
