Dr. Tracie L. Keesee is a certified yoga and mindfulness instructor whose practice is rooted in the power of the breath to create space, restore balance, and reconnect us with ourselves. A retired law enforcement professional, she brings her lived experience as a first responder to her teaching, specializing in breathwork, meditation, and trauma-informed yoga.

Tracie is the founder of Respect the Ohm® and author of Breathe. Her trauma-informed approach is practical, accessible, and grounded in creating spaces where people have choice, agency, and permission to meet themselves where they are. She believes yoga is not about perfecting the pose; it is about listening to the body, honoring what we carry, and learning to use the breath as a tool for self-awareness, regulation, and well-being both on and off the mat.
