while we perform bow stance in any posture, what happens? i.e. knees are bent first or hips are moved first and then knees are bent?

Greetings!

There are no rules for what comes first. It all depends which direction of the bow stance from the initial position. You just get there whatever need to be first but naturally.

The body should turn, first, while lifting up the leg with the toe pointing in the bow direction and the heel should be landed on the ground. Then lower the foot flat on the ground and bend the knee simultaneously.
