Breath of Fire
Cephei T-shirt — Mercerized Organic Cotton Batwing Yoga T-shirt
- In stock
Soft, light, and quietly flattering — an easy essential with a batwing cut and longer hem.
The Cephei T-shirt was created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire. Designed as an easy essential — a piece that feels natural on the body and effortless to wear.
Its relaxed cut moves with you, offering freedom without excess, while the gentle batwing shape and short sleeves softly cover the shoulders for a calm, feminine line. The longer hem stays close to the hips during movement, letting you raise your arms, stretch or flow without adjustment.
What makes it unique
- Batwing cut — opens softly across chest and shoulders for full freedom of breath and movement.
- Longer hem — stays close to the hips for confident coverage during forward folds, inversions or simply when you reach overhead.
- Short sleeves with soft shoulder coverage — a feminine line that protects without weight.
- Mercerized organic cotton, 180g — light, smooth and breathable, with a subtle natural sheen. 92% certified organic cotton · 8% elastane for soft drape and gentle stretch.
Best for
- All yoga styles — Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, Ashtanga
- Warm-weather practice and outdoor flow
- Everyday wear — refined enough to wear with jeans, a skirt or shorts
- Pairing with the Sohang Pants, Amrit Legging, Yamala or Inderjit 3/4 for a complete tonal look
Honest note on fit
The Cephei is a relaxed batwing T-shirt with short sleeves. If you're looking for something different, we genuinely recommend:
- The Lunara Longsleeve Shirt — same oversized batwing spirit with long sleeves and thumb loops, for cooler seasons.
- The Maia Tank Top — a close-fit sleeveless tank with a higher neckline, for warm days without sleeves.
Ethically made in Europe
Every Cephei T-shirt is knitted, dyed and sewn in Portugal, in the same small family workshop as our Sohang Pants — a place we visit personally. All fabrics are certified organic and dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin.
Styling tip
For a refined silhouette, choose the same colour for your Cephei and your bottoms. The tonal look creates a continuous vertical line that visually elongates the body. Pairs beautifully with the Sohang Pants, the Yamala Pants and the Amrit Legging.

A natural pairing
The Cephei T-shirt was designed to pair naturally with the Ankaa Pants, forming a balanced set shaped for both movement and rest. Crafted from the same organic cotton jersey, the two pieces share a light, breathable feel and a calm, understated elegance.
Worn together, the Cephei T-shirt and the Ankaa Pants create a silhouette that feels grounded yet free — soft at the waist, relaxed through the body, and comfortable over long hours. The T-shirt drapes gently over the straight-leg cut of the pants, allowing the outfit to move seamlessly between practice, stillness, and everyday life.
Rather than individual items, these pieces form the Ankaa set — a considered combination designed to support breath, movement, and presence. Yoga clothing rooted in natural fabrics, thoughtful cuts, and a quiet approach to comfort and well-being.
