Ask about how many hours of training he has received. Although there is no universal yoga teacher certification, many quality studios require that their instructors complete a minimum number of training hours before they are allowed to teach. If the instructor has 200 or more hours of training, there is a good chance that he has solid skills to work with.
Does the instructor know the benefits and contraindications of each pose? Can he offer modifications for students who have physical limitations? You want a teacher who can provide information about how each pose relates to your unique physical condition.
Also, find out if the teacher has specific training in basic anatomy. I cannot emphasize this point strongly enough.

If the teacher is not trained in anatomy run, dont walk, out of the class.
