To genuflect, you should kneel on your right knee while keeping your left foot flat on the ground, then briefly touch your right knee to the floor before rising. This gesture is often accompanied by a sign of the cross. For bowing, stand upright and bend at the waist, keeping your back straight and your head lowered slightly, usually as a sign of reverence. Both gestures are commonly used in liturgical settings, with the genuflection typically directed towards the altar or the tabernacle.
