Yoga asanas in general are recommended to be followed in a sequence with counter asanas for every asana to avoid stiffness and muscle cramping or ligament strains For ex if one performs cobra pose then it must be followed by doing child pose to avoid lower back stiffness or cramping .

It depends on pose you are performing. If two poses are indifferent to each other you can opt for either one first. But if there is a series of Asanas which need to be performed in a specific order, then the heirarchy of poses must be maintained.

Yes. Generally yoga or any workout session is designed to go from low intensity to high and then high to low. this way one can relax and regain after good workout or yoga session. in workout there are warm up excersises to start and in yoga there are sukshma vyayam wherein one activates each and every jioint of body and then perfroms asans. asan again can be sequenced like after standing asan one does sitting and then lying down asan and pranaym or shavasan then. one can also sequence as asan and counter asan. like after poorvauttanasa one can do paschimuttanasan. Good sequencing will ensure one is relaxed and energised after yoga session rather than feeling exhausted, with cramps etc etc read less

Yoga asanas should be done in sequence and in systematic order.Standing Asanas then sitting asanas, lying on back asanas and lying on stomach.Standing and sitting asanas can be done after lying position asanas.This gives better result of asanas and increase flexibility.
