Who makes our clothes?

95% of our garments are made in Portugal, near Porto, in small family-run workshops we have been working with for many years.These ateliers are close to us — both geographically and humanly — and offer excellent working conditions, with deep craftsmanship and mutual trust.The remaining 5% of our production takes place in Turkey, also in a family-owned workshop that operates ethically and holds recognized certifications.This collaboration began during the Covid period, when organic cotton and bamboo fabrics were temporarily unavailable for our small Portugal Production.Although we value this partnership, Portugal remains our first choice, where the proximity, care, and spirit of the atelier perfectly reflect our values.Unlike most brands, we oversee every step of production — from fabric knitting and dyeing to cutting, sewing, and embroidery.We never buy pre-made fabrics on the market. Each material is developed exclusively for Breath of Fire, ensuring consistency, softness, and long-lasting quality.Our approach is rare today: a slow, transparent, and human way of creating — rooted in respect for the people, the planet, and the art of making things well.

How do we measure sustainability?

For us, sustainability is a holistic commitment that touches every aspect of our brand.Natural & certified materialsOur clothes are made only from natural fibers, mainly certified organic cotton of the highest quality. All our fabrics are certified and dyed with processes so gentle they are safe even for babies’ skin.Local & transparent productionWe work primarily with trusted partners in Portugal, where the entire process — from yarn to finished garment — takes place on site. We personally visit the workshops to ensure full transparency, fair working conditions, and a human connection with those who bring our designs to life. A very small part of our production is also made in Turkey, with equally certified fabrics and ethical standards.Evergreen & zero-waste approachWe focus on evergreen production instead of fast-changing seasonal collections. We use every meter of yarn that has been spun, and we only order what will actually be used and sold — avoiding both waste and overstock.Protective packagingEach garment is stored and shipped in an individual protective bag made from either recycled plastic or biodegradable materials — ensuring product quality while reducing impact.Longevity over fast fashionWe design timeless pieces intended to last. By creating functional, durable garments instead of trend-based collections, we help reduce overconsumption and textile waste.Small-scale, mindful productionAs a family business, we grow without external capital, focusing on limited production runs to avoid overstock and waste. This slower rhythm ensures quality and respect for natural resourcesPhilosophy of careBreath of Fire is born from yoga and nature — our vision is to offer clothing that nurtures both body and spirit, aligning beauty, comfort, and ecological responsibility.In this way, sustainability for us is not just about materials or processes — it is a way of living, producing, and sharing in harmony with people and the planet.

What materials we use?

We believe it’s important to be transparent about the fabrics behind our garments. Textile production is always industrial — with machinery, energy, and human resources involved — but our goal is to make these processes as respectful and high-quality as possible.That’s why we work almost exclusively with natural materials, blended only with a very small percentage of elastane when necessary to ensure durability and comfort. All our fabrics are certified by independent bodies for both environmental and ethical standards.Here are the main fabrics we use:Brushed Organic Cotton Jersey (220 g/m², made in Portugal)Our flagship fabric, used in the Evergreen Collection. Made of 92% organic cotton and 8% elastane, it has a peach-skin touch, warmth, and long-lasting softness. Brushed during production, it stays smooth wash after wash. This premium fabric requires great care to dye and finish but delivers exceptional quality.Bamboo blended with Organic Cotton (made in Turkey)Selected for the Evolve Collection. Bamboo requires little water to grow and is sourced from responsibly managed forests. Through a controlled viscose process, it offers softness, fluidity, and durability. Blended with organic cotton, it creates breathable and comfortable garments designed to last. The Mizar Kimono is made entirely from bamboo.Mercerized Organic Cotton Jersey (180 g/m², made in Portugal)A premium organic cotton treated for strength, softness, and a refined silky sheen. Mercerization enhances color absorption, reduces shrinkage, and creates a polished, long-lasting fabric that remains breathable and skin-friendly.Across all collections, we use every meter of yarn produced and only order what will be used and sold, avoiding waste and overproduction. Most of our fabrics are made in Portugal, with a very small part of our production in Turkey, where we collaborate with family-owned partners who share our values.For us, sustainability is not just in the choice of fibers but in the traceability, certifications, and longevity of the fabrics we bring to you.

Why and who designs our timeless pieces?

Our collections are designed by my mother, Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire and a lifelong yogini devoted to creating beauty with purpose.She inherited her love for sewing and precision from my grandmother Johanna, whose passion for handmade work and natural fabrics shaped our family’s creative path.As her daughter, I carry this heritage forward — weaving together their know-how, values, and sense of harmony.At Breath of Fire, we don’t chase trends; we create timeless pieces that feel soft, grounded, and alive.We design them this way because we are timeless: rooted in care, guided by nature, and inspired by the simple grace of well-made things.

Familiar, breathable, and quietly supportive — the summer companion of the Sohang Legging.

The Sohang Yoga Short was created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire, as the natural extension of our Sohang Yoga Legging — same trusted fit, same fold-over waistband, simply in a shorter length for warmer days and dynamic movement.

Since 2009, the Sohang family has been the foundation of everything Breath of Fire stands for. Worn alone on hot days or paired with the legging across seasons, the Sohang Short brings the same feeling of being gently held — never compressed, simply at ease.

What makes it unique

Versatile pressure-free waistband — fold it up over the belly for gentle core warmth and support, fold it down to sit low on the hips for everyday ease.
Cropped Sohang line — the same close, body-hugging silhouette as our Sohang Legging, in a short length for breathability and freedom of movement.
Designed for dynamic movement — short enough for any flowing posture, long enough to provide modest, confident coverage.
220g brushed jersey — the same soft organic cotton as our Sohang Legging and Pants. Keeps its shape wash after wash, feels like a second skin.

Best for

Summer yoga — Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, hot yoga or outdoor practice
Warm-weather days at home, on the mat or on holiday
Loungewear at home — soft enough to wear all day
Travel and casual summer wear

Honest note on fit

The Sohang Short is close-fit but never compressive — designed for breath and ease rather than tight support. If you're looking for something different, we genuinely recommend:

The Sohang Yoga Legging — same family, same waistband, full leg coverage for cooler seasons.
The Inderjit Yoga Pants 3/4 — a lighter capri version of the Sohang Pants, with more leg coverage than the short.
The Vega Leggings — a true close-fit, lightly compressive yoga legging for high-intensity practice and everyday wear.

Ethically made in Europe

Every Sohang Short is knitted, dyed and sewn in Portugal, in the same small family workshop as our Sohang Pants and Legging — a place we visit personally. All fabrics are certified organic and dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin. 92% certified organic cotton · 8% elastane for lasting shape and comfort.

Styling tip

For a refined silhouette, choose the same colour for your top and short. The tonal look creates a subtle vertical line that visually elongates the body — effortless and timeless. Pairs beautifully with the Sohang Top and the Amba Jacket.

Sohang Top & Shorts — the summer expression

The Sohang Top and Sohang Shorts were designed as a warm-weather continuation of the original Sohang ensemble — born from practice, movement, and a deep understanding of the body. Keeping the same trusted fit and fabric, this lighter pairing offers ease, breathability, and freedom for summer days and active practice.

Worn together, the top and shorts create a balanced, fluid silhouette that supports movement and presence without excess. The close, stable fit allows the body to move naturally, while the softness of the brushed organic cotton jersey keeps the skin comfortable through heat and long wear.

Styling tip
For a refined summer silhouette, choose the top and shorts in the same color. Wearing one tone from top to bottom creates a clean vertical line, visually elongating and refining the body for a simple, effortless look — light, grounded, and timeless.
