Is the teacher is trained to teach, by a teacher ?
Is the teacher practices yoga for a while, and everyday ?
Is the teacher knows the pillars on what yoga is reposing ?
Is the teacher as this quality of amphatie ?
Is the teacher seems to guide you or only is showing things around ?
Dont ask a teacher to do acrobatic thing, it is not necessary. A good teacher will be umble and will not act as a falst guru. A good teacher dont take grany of the good he do around. If a teacher is not responsible for his teaching, toward you, it is not a teacher. Intellectual mater is less important than the guiding quality in yoga. Modesty and honesty is better.
Is the teacher have an experience on teaching yoga ?

To teach, not only yoga, but anithing, and to be a good teacher, it is a vocation. It is not given to all to be abble to be a good teacher, but with lots of work and the following of good masters, it is possible to be a good teacher, even if it was not a vocation at all. It is like yoga. Some people progress slowely as they are not familiar to the yoga attittude from before birth. But everybody can evolve and be a good yogin, fast or slow.
A good teacher, if he have been trained, as to be trained by a good teacher, not a businessman, or only a book. I beleive there are many good teachers, and other people improvise themself as teacher. The quality I said are not very difficult to find, I see that from a barber, a farmer, a mother, etc, it is homan qualities, and the vocationto teach, even when itis still sleeping inside the person.

What are the qualities a good yoga teacher should have?
-Expert knowledge of their subject.
-Their own practice.
-The ability to communicate in a way that cannot be misinterpreted.
-Mastery of the language in which they teach.
-The ability to both look and see.
-The ability to both hear and listen.
-A knowledge of general anatomy or applied anatomy.
-Ability to teach without performing.
-Humility.
-Living the yoga you teach.
-Pitch, pace, tone, resonance.
-Teaching from the heart rather than the mental or the vital.
-Yamas, Niyama, and Kleshas.
I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.
