exercise with tear?

I was very active during my pregnancy, doing lots of yoga, walking and even keeping up with some p90x workouts the week before I gave birth. I'm 3 weeks PP and I'm really looking forward to getting back into running and I was thinking I would do tracy anderson's video along with yoga.  However, I had a second degree tear.  It feels fine now, no pain and I know technically I'm supposed to wait 6 weeks... but I was hoping to get started sooner than that.  Any advice on exercising with a 2nd degree tear?  When?  What?  How much?

    you're all probably right... I was hoping for a chorus of people telling me to go ahead, what I want to hear, but I should take it easy.  I did yoga yesterday for the first time and feel pretty sore in my back (good sore!) today, so that's probably e
