Yogasan is about doing the asans by moving gently with appropriate breathing patter, without stress. Many western trainers tell to do warmup before doing yogasan but the main principle of yogasan is increase the heart beat. "Shawasan" is actually to be done before and after one does other yogasans so as to relax the body.
I know it may sound dangerous to stretch before warming up but yogasan achieves this by doing a single asan more than one. You don't have to stretch all the way at first time. Your body will become flexible with days/weeks of practice. Remember these things while doing yogasan:

- Do NOT cause your heart beat to increase while doing yoga, else, do "shavasan".
- Breathing pattern during each asan is specific. Try learning it from some non-westernized teacher.
- Repeat each asan twice or thrice. Stretch only until it is confortable. You will be finally able to increase your range of motions.
- Yogasan is not only about flexibility, there's more to it depending upon different asans.
