Prayer Posture, Preparations, Time and Place
#6
It is permissible for Noahides to prostrate themselves in prayer to G-d, providing there are no objects in front of them that could be misconstrued as them prostrating to that object. Muslims prostrate themselves during their prayers but not on a bare floor, they always have a prayer rug under them.

Jews no longer prostrate themselves in prayer with the exception of on the High Holy Days, and then only during 2 prayers; the "Aleinu" prayer* and on Yom Kippur during the Avoda prayer which tells of the service of the High Priest in the Temple on Yom Kippur. Jews also during these prayers spread a cloth on the floor if needed so as not to bow on a bare stone or tiled floor.

A Noahide could incorporate prostration during a prayer that they felt was appropriate and mentions prostration.

*For the "Aleinu" prayer, see our web page
