Inner Teachings

The term "Gnostic" is misused as a descriptor for teachings or doctrines that are limited to an inner circle or group.

The actual word you want is:

Esoteric: Of philosophical doctrines, treatises, modes of speech, etc.: Designed for, or appropriate to, an inner circle of advanced or privileged disciples; communicated to, or intelligible by, the initiated exclusively. Hence of disciples: Belonging to the inner circle, admitted to the esoteric teaching. Opposed to Exoteric.
