We use the term uchi (inside) tenkan and soto (outside) tenkan. For example the tenkan we do at the beginning of practice is soto tenkan. The movement we do when we do (standard) yokomen techniques is uchi tenkan. Our dojo does soto tenkan yokomen too. You can see my sensei doing it in this youtube video
