Chacham Ovadia Yosef is shown below wearing tefillin. I've never seen this style of tefillin wrapping. Is this of a particular group or minhag?

I've seen Temanim wear tefillin like this– TrustMeI'mARabbiCommented Mar 30, 2017 at 20:31

I would be interested in seeing how he starts wrapping from the bayit of his shel yad.– Menachem EliyahuCommented Mar 31, 2017 at 13:16

@MenachemEliyahu - You can see a bit of how he does it in this picture here. This was the only one I could find, though. It seems he has the minhag to cover the bayit of the shel yad with his sleeve.– ezraCommented Mar 31, 2017 at 19:01

@TrustMeI'mARabbi - It seems to me that this is more of a variation on the normal Sephardi wrap; Temanim wrap differently. Do you have a picture of a Temani wearing tefillin like this? That might help the OP a little.– ezraCommented Mar 31, 2017 at 19:04

1I don't understand the question. Are you interested in the number of wraps around the arm, overlaps, or the hand? Sepharadim wrap eight times...– MDjavaCommented Sep 6, 2019 at 3:46

This wrapping is in accordance with the Yemenite(Teiman) custom.
