Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAṇimāsiddhi (अणिमासिद्धि) refers to the “Siddhi called Aṇimā”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] If [the Yogin] who abides in absorption remains [in it] up to the end of fourteen days, he [gains] the Siddhi called Aṇimā (aṇimāsiddhi) [aṇimākhyāsya siddhiḥ syād], by which the state of being extremely small is obtained. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
