How about writing it like the following?

def gen_all(gen):
    for e in gen:
        yield e

def foogen(arg1):
    def foogen1(arg2):
        # Some code here
    # Some code here
    gen_all(arg3)
    # Some code here
    gen_all(arg4)
    # Some code here
    gen_all(arg5)
    # Some code here
    gen_all(arg6)
