Bear with a green necktie (4)

I believe the answer is:

yogi

(Other definitions for yogi that I've seen before include "practitioner holding various positions" , "Expert in a Hindu discipline - cartoon bear" , "practitioner of physical discipline" , "Follower of a Hindu philosophy involving mind and body" , "Practising philosopher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
