— Practice the bow hold before picking up the violin —

 

Keep thumb bent  •  All fingers arched  •  Forearm pronated  •  Hinge at your elbow to bow

Watch in a mirror to make sure you're playing with straight yaw, using short strokes in the middle of the bow.

Once you have this memorized, watch in a mirror to make sure you're bowing with straight yaw.
