Postural awareness and exercise device

A postural awareness system comprising a postural awareness device comprising:

• a) a posture training mat comprising:
• i) a length from a feet end to a head end;
• ii) a width from a left side to a right side;
• iii) an interface surface;
• iv) a base surface;
• b) a lumbar sensor comprising:
• i) a sensor body;
• ii) an elastomeric component;
• iii) a magnet coupled to the sensor body and configured an offset magnet distance from the interface surface of the posture training mat;
• iv) a first hall effect sensor coupled to the posture training mat;
• wherein the lumbar sensor is configured to detect when the magnet is moved within a threshold sensor distance from the hall effect sensor;
• c) a feedback device to produce a feedback signal, wherein the feedback device comprises a vibration device;
• d) a controller that receives input from the lumbar sensor and initiates the feedback device when the magnet is moved within said threshold sensor distance from the hall effect sensor;
• and
• e) a battery to power the lumbar sensor and the controller and the feedback device;
• wherein the vibration device produces a feedback vibration when the magnet is moved within a threshold sensor distance from the hall effect sensor;
• and
• f) a light device that produces a feedback light;
• wherein the light device produces said feedback light when the magnet is moved within a threshold sensor distance from the first hall effect sensor;
• wherein the light device produces a second feedback light when the magnet has been actuated a second threshold distance toward the hall effect sensor, wherein a second threshold distance is less than said first threshold distance.
