At the start of each class we do a procedure called "Bowing in". It includes going into a kneeling position called "Seiza", then closing our eyes for around 20 seconds to clear our mind. After that there is a formal bow to show deep respect to each other. At the end of the class the class, we repeat the same procedure (we call it "Bowing out"). This allows the knowledge attained to be become more settled within us.
It's important to note that bowing from seiza can conflict with certain religions, so Muslim students allowed to just sit still and then do a standing bow afterwards.
