Possible I guess but requiring some serious reaching skills
I've seen isolations in BTB waist wraps before if not a full isolated BTB weave. "Moo," said the happy cow.

They require a dodging the bullet matrix move. You have to lean back quite a bit to do them, and it's a bit of funky body positioning, I wouldn't suggest even trying it with fire, but with normal poi, it's very possible.
It's VERY hard to isolate the entire weave, but it's only sort of hard to isolate on only one side of your body.
As for advice....stretch before you even attempt, you need a good arm reach to get the isolation, also start with just doing the iso on one side of your body, and then trying to get it to isolate on both sides.

i can isolate one side now...woooh
i've also been trying out and playing around with the buzzsaw weaves...i think thats what they are called
its like a hyperllooop but the poi dont tangle and go around your arms instead.......
