Two villages in Portugal makes your clothes

Near Porto, in Portugal, two small family businesses work side by side for us. The first, in one village, knits our organic cotton from scratch and dyes it to our specifications. The second, in the next village, cuts and sews. We have been visiting both every year since 2009. We know the people by name. We share meals when we visit. They have watched our collections grow alongside their own children.During the Covid years, when organic cotton and bamboo became briefly impossible to source in Portugal, we found a second family workshop in Turkey — also ethical, also certified, also personal. About 5% of what we make passes through their hands today. The Mizar Kimono and a few Lilac pieces from past collections come from there.Most yoga brands buy fabric from a market — pre-made rolls, ready to cut. We don't. Every meter of jersey we use is knitted from scratch to our specifications. That is why the Sohang feels the way it does. That is why a five-year-old pair softens instead of wearing thin.A slower way of making clothes. Sometimes inconvenient. Always worth it.

The slow choices we keep making for sustainability

Sustainability for us is not a marketing department. It is a series of small, sometimes annoying choices we have made since 2009.We chose certified organic cotton when it was 40% more expensive than conventional or plastic fabrics. We still pay that premium today. We grow without external capital which means we cannot afford to overstock, so we don't. We use every meter of yarn we order, even when it means smaller runs and longer waits. We are 100% self funded and all the money is placed in ethical funds in a local bank.We focus on evergreen pieces, the Sohang, the Amrit, the Amba instead of seasonal collections. Some of these designs are over a decade old and still our bestsellers. A garment worn for ten years on a body is the most sustainable thing a fashion brand can make.Our fabrics are dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin. We package in either recycled or biodegradable bags. We ship from our small warehouse in Cully (Switzerland) or our partner in Germany, never overseas.We don't tick every box. We are not perfect. But these are the choices we make, and we make them visible.

What materials we use?

We work with three fabrics. Three. Not thirty.Brushed Organic Cotton Jersey (220g, made in Portugal) soft, slightly thick, with a peach-skin touch. Our flagship. The Sohang, Yamala and Mahan are knitted from this.Mercerized Organic Cotton Jersey (180g, made in Portugal) lighter, smoother, with a subtle natural sheen. Our new Essence Collection uses this for models like Ankaa, Nashira, Maia.Bamboo Viscose blended with Organic Cotton (made in Turkey) cool, breathable, fluid. Used for the Lilii pants and the Mizar Kimono. Bamboo regrows in three to five years, without replanting and without irrigation.Most pieces include around 8% certified elastane, enough to hold shape over years of wear, without losing breath.We use every meter of yarn we knit. What we don't sew, we save for repairs and samples. Nothing goes to waste.

Three generations of women to design

Three generations of women.My grandmother Johanna sewed evening dresses by hand. Long, careful, beautiful work, a kind of patience that has all but disappeared.My mother, Cornelia, learned from her. In 2009, she founded Breath of Fire. The very first piece she designed, the Sohang, was created on the floor of her living room in Switzerland, with a yoga teacher friend named Christina. It is still our flagship today, seventeen years later.Today, I ( Pernelle) run the brand. I do not redesign what works. I extend it. The Essence Collection, launched in 2025, sits beside the Evergreen line. New silhouettes, same intention.We do not design for trends. We design for the body in practice, for the moment when the breath deepens, when the posture lengthens, when you forget what you are wearing.That is the test of a piece. Forgetting it on. Returning to it.

Close-fit support with a naturally smoothing finish — a bamboo and organic cotton yoga legging that stays in place and gently holds the silhouette.

The Vega Leggings were created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire, as a reliable performance essential. Their bamboo-cotton-elastane jersey offers light compression with a naturally smooth finish — supporting the body, smoothing the silhouette, and staying perfectly in place through every movement.

Created to move with you through dynamic practice and daily life, Vega feels secure, breathable, and comfortable over time. A legging you can trust — in flow, in strength, and beyond the studio.

What makes it unique

Light compression that smooths and supports — the bamboo-cotton-elastane blend holds the silhouette gently and keeps the legging in place, with a naturally smoothing finish on the skin.
Double waistband — stable, secure support around the hips and lower abdomen, with no rolling or pressure.
Streamlined silhouette — follows the body's natural lines, refined for performance and everyday wear.
Bamboo & organic cotton jersey, 220g/m² — 64% bamboo · 24% certified organic cotton · 12% elastane. Soft, breathable, naturally smooth with a gently supportive stretch.

Best for

Dynamic yoga — Vinyasa, Ashtanga, hot yoga, Power Yoga
High-intensity practice — the gentle compression supports muscle engagement
Everyday performance wear — running, fitness, cycling, hiking
Pairing with the Aurora Bra for a complete sportswear set in the same fabric

Honest note on fit

The Vega is our lightly compressive legging — close-fit with a smoothing finish. If you're looking for something different, we genuinely recommend:

The Aurora Bra — the matching close-fit sports bra in the same bamboo-cotton-elastane jersey, for a complete sportswear set.
The Sohang Yoga Legging — same close-fit but in our warmer 220g brushed jersey with integrated gaiters, for slower grounded practice.
The Alya Capri Legging 3/4 — a 3/4 capri version in our lighter mercerized cotton for warm days.

Honestly made — the story behind our Evolve collection

This piece comes from our Evolve collection — and there's a small story behind it. In 2019, when Covid disrupted supply chains, our family atelier in Portugal lost access to certified organic cotton. To keep the brand alive and honour our promise to natural fibres, we found a wonderful partner workshop in Turkey — fully solar-powered, certified, and run with the same ethical care we hold dear. We were genuinely happy to produce there.

Today, we have returned to our original Portuguese family atelier for the rest of our collections. The human warmth, the respect for skilled Portuguese artisans, and the quality we find there is something we have not seen anywhere else in the textile industry — and that's where our heart remains. Since 2009.

All fabrics are certified organic and dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin.

Styling tip

For a complete sportswear set, pair the Vega with the Aurora Bra in matching colour. For yoga practice, layer the Sohang Top or the Cephei T-shirt over it. The streamlined silhouette pairs beautifully with our wraps and pullovers — try the Lunara Longsleeve for a refined post-practice look.

Between two sizes? Size down for stronger compression and smoothing — size up for a more relaxed fit.

How to measure: Waist = narrowest point • Hips = fullest point. Tolerance ±2 cm due to fabric and production.

Care

Machine wash at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours. Air dry only — no tumble dryer. This preserves the elastane and keeps the compressive support over time.

Size & Fit

Runs true to size with a close, body-hugging fit.

Note on “Magic Earth”This printed colorway feels slightly firmer due to the print tension. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more relaxed feel, we recommend sizing up for Magic Earth.

Aurora bra Vega legging

Designed to belong together

The Vega Leggings, Aurora Bra, and Mizar Kimono were designed as a coherent set — pieces shaped to work together in form, feel, and function. Created from the same bamboo–organic cotton blend, they share a soft, breathable quality and a close, supportive fit that feels natural on the body.

The bamboo blend fabric offers lightness, fluidity, and a naturally cool touch, making it ideal for daily yoga wear and long hours of comfort. Worn together, the pieces create a balanced silhouette — supportive without compression, refined without effort.

The set also pairs naturally with the Cosma Shirt, allowing for easy layering and everyday versatility. Whether worn for practice, movement, or life beyond the studio, these pieces form a reliable wardrobe for those who seek comfort, coherence, and beauty in daily wear.

This is yoga clothing designed not as individual items, but as a system — rooted in natural fabrics, close-fitting comfort, and a thoughtful approach to movement and presence.
