Yoga mats will be rolled out across Village Green this Sunday as residents stretch for a cause at Rockingham's Biggest Yoga Event.

Body Prep Outdoor Group Training and Yoga owner Mandy Collins said she was holding the event to help the Warnbro Swans Integrated Football team raise much needed money.

"It is a great way to get the community involved in yoga but also to raise funds to help the team get what they need," she said.

Ms Collins said the team was given a taste of yoga at a training session last week and were hooked.

"Yoga complements their training, it's a great stretch and relaxation exercise for the body, it also focuses the mind," she said.

Whether you're a footy player, elderly, or young, Ms Collins said yoga was both enjoyable and beneficial.

Vice-president Wayne Hunt said the team was hoping to raise $1000 to buy new training jumpers and shorts.

"Integration is about the players being the same as everybody else, so if you want play football you train the same way you play, in shorts, a footy guernsey and boots," he said.
