Ruup Vs Ning - Differences in These Thai Terminologies 😩😂

[SHELL28]

Ruup isn’t Ning... 

how? 
 

I’m confused... I really enjoy these terminologies the Thais have But what’s the difference here. 

or what’s your definition of the two..

 

Ruup is how you hold yourself? 
Ning is superhero business?   

[Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu]

Ruup is literally the body as an object. Picture a doll, how it's posed, how it's positioned, posture, overall composure. It's physical.

Ning is something that can be expressed through posture, but it's not the posture itself. It's being unmoved, unbothered, unaffected. 

If you get kneed in the guts and your body folds, your Ruup broke, but if you just carry on as if it doesn't matter and you keep coming, that's Ning.

To add to what Sylvie is saying: But, they are connected, because when your body folds, you can appear affected even if you don't show it on your face. So being really aware of your ruup, or disciplined in it, can help you appear to be ning. You can still be ning if your body folds, just in how your play it off, your continuity, your energy, not becoming mad, showing pain, or being hyper-aggressive (emotional control), but having great ruup supports the sense of ning.

In a yoga studio I visited in Thailand they would use the word Ning a lot as in presence and stillness when holding a pose.
