Stances are named based upon which leg has the most weight on it.
Walking Stances (front and side facing): The front leg has the most weight 60% so if the right leg is forward it would be a right walking stance. L-Stance: the rear leg has most of the weight on it 70%, so the stance is named for the rear leg. Therefore a right L-Stance would have the right leg back and the left leg forward. Sitting and fixed Stances: Weight is balanced equally 50% on both legs.
