It's especially counterproductive when you realize, from the POV of the Patanjali and yogic tradition anyways, they've never been given the full method for levitation which consists of more than one siddhi formula and it's corresponding yogic method which doesn't even appear in the YS, it's always given "ear-to-ear".
