I'm with Perikles: "Hacer una reverencia" is the one I'd chose at first.
"Inclinarse" may be fine as well. - El mayordomo hizo una reverencia y salió del comedor. - Nos inclinamos ante el rey cuando lo vimos pasar.

The trouble is it can have a wider meaning when with an object:
to bow your head in shame to bow to the inevitable no respect involved here |

Correct. Context is everything.
